I know the most critical step is to build a team which I am confident I’ll be able to accomplish since I already have some friends that live there.Any help would be appreciated! 

Analyzing the impact on your overall financial health is critical.

Critical features for me: calendar mgt, manage client communication, communicating with team (i.e. cleaners), supply/operations checklist per property, and vacancy reporting. 

Lastly, thanks for engaging with us despite a lot of the criticism flying your way right now.

We have also rejected hundreds more from bad sources that we found on our own outside of the network we are connected with through NoteSchool...Due Diligence and proper connections are critical in this business.Michelle

That is a very critical part.

The MTR being upfront and honest about his or her intentions for the property is critical to that.

Maybe you won't find anyone in his community saying they are not getting their value there (at least not out loud) but that's probably because saying anything at all critical there will apparently get you kicked out immediately (guess the community is only "forever" if you keep any constructive criticism to yourself).

Few notes: I will not touch the money in these accounts unless the income is being used to buy a flip or another property, which is about 10 months for me so that money will be sitting there.I am considering a HYSA from Capital one as i saw as of today their APY is 4+% with a minimum deposit of $10KI will be using baselane to organize and manage these transactions.Any criticism / advice is welcome :)

This can help you find properties below market value, which is critical for BRRRR.
