I cannot afford to just hang out in MO awaiting a trial to take place.

The trial is a bit short and doesn't let you get the full feel of how accurate the service is. 

However it's complexity makes it less intuitive to operate from what I hear. )- Rentec Direct ( Heard this one has stellar customer service and it has most features as well) - Buildium ( I tried a trial of this one and it seemed interesting but it was kind of expensive, and the application process is with my smart move by transition.

During that time the property is up in the air and it is unlikely you'd be making the payments that are on the agreement and thusly he can both call you in breach of contract (and probably win that part of the lawsuit) and evict you.Eventually, when you get to trial the judge will decide who is right or sometimes who he likes better and make a decision. 

At least in the past their support for a trial version was not very helpful.

That is great to know about the roof and the interior cosmetic values, I actually picked up the Biggerpockets rehab book to trial and determine better values for such things.

Well I believe trial and error is the best way to learn, from what I've heard from others it's pretty simple after you've done it a few times.

Some of this is going to be trial and error until you figure out what form of marketing works best for your target audience in your target market.Again, this is something like the 10,000 ft view, and you'll learn a lot more as you get into the details.

There are plenty of expensive options out there but if you're going to only use it a few times I would suggest either going with a trial version or finding a free program like this.

Outside of potentially costly trial and error is there a good way to learn about the necessary forms and contracts so that I'll feel comfortable with this area of REI?
