I would highly suggest finding a bookkeeper who specializes in REI as our industry is a different animal that a regular business and the bookkeeping is a bit specialized as well.

Trying to make it where there is a lot of data, easy to use, and have a lot of articles written by local experts.

Post on local Facebook pages for contractor referrals, go to local REIAs, and ask your potential agents and PMs (even if not using a PM at first...you may at some point).There is only so much that service providers can do and many of them are far from "experts"; so, be prepared to be your own expert at being willing to figure stuff out as you move forward.

Quote from @Richa Wardhan: Hi All,I am a relatively new investor with a full time well paying job.I have 4 SFH in Class A neighborhoods in Gainesville area.

To get consensus on anything in an association, well with just 4 dead-lock would be the norm.

I’m open to other suggestions as well, but especially interested in any info/suggestions regarding the markets listed below.

Are you doing new construction in Chicago as well or just KC?

Then you might as well level it and buy another one.

Mortgage rates have kept increasing as well, that's why I put a range on negative cash flow.

Well said!
