This provides an excellent opportunity to purchase properties, make light renovations to increase both rental income and property value, and optimize cash flow.

I prefer building my own spreadsheet on Excel and fine-tuning the specific expenses myself.

@Emily ShinHouse hacking a multi-family property is an excellent way to start investing in real estate, especially in a market like Columbus, Ohio, which offers affordability and growth potential.

Condo a bit different - 7% note, but we furnished it for a MTR, and tenant is excellent and deciding to stay longer.

@Caleb Genry I also can use that awesome Excel spreadsheet sir> 

Details matter: keep a log (something like an excel spreadsheet) that documents the date, duration, and events that occurred/work you did. 2.

Would like to become more savvy in the multi units properties realm separate from some of my commercial properties tenants who have excelled in that type real estate.   

For a simple/budget-friendly option, Google sheets/Excel can actually be a great starting point.8.

Another tool that is really excellent for this is Pricelabs.

I suspect there are already excellent deals, and that there is reason to believe that buying will be rewarded handsomely over the next 10 years, but that the "bottom" may still be 12-18 months away in a market like Tampa.
