If you think you can manage a mortgage, taxes, insurance and the upkeep of a home while paying your student loans then buying is not  bad idea but if you think you will overstretch yourself renting is nto bad either.

The high end rental properties can be a different animal than your run of the mill $2,500 month rental both in terms of upkeep and demand.

The DST is losing $ due to upkeep costs (foundation, HVAC, normal repairs, etc.).

Do you have a balloon payment coming up? Keep

This likely means fewer issues with payments and property upkeep. 

As such, just upkeep and maintenance of the yard became a factor in deciding to sell.

I still want to have a “regular” career for now, but know I have what it takes to successfully run a business- say in the form of real estate investing.

Transcribing transactions from bank statements, posting transactions to the correct accounts, and then manually creating an income statement, statement of owner's equity and a balance sheet is a fairly time consuming process and I have not been able to keep up with the book keeping between my regular work responsibilities.What accounting software do people recommend?
