Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

I have no need for the rent collection or tenant screening as this is a function my property manager does for me.

Right now, we only have a couple of rental properties; they were turnkey investments that my business partner had before I joined him.A bit of advice that might seem obvious but often gets overlooked: stay very organized.

But current search functions or magnifying glass is inefficient.  

My own realtor said that 2020 was the most lucrative year of her career and that nearly all the people buying houses in Waco are people who are fleeing California, New York, and Oregon, moving to Texas in hopes of living in a free and functional society again.

It all depends on the scope of work and your available time to put towards organizing and finding the right contractors. 

It was a 1-bedroom apartment with a weird living room space that didn't feel functional. 

In the meantime, I'd recommend using the search function and set up keyword alerts to find other questions on land wholesaling, best investment strategies, and any other topics of interest.Excited to hear what you and your son have in the works, all the best!

I would add to get and keep your finances very organized.

It is discussed at most of these meet ups I go to (usually in the networking that is before and after the organized meeting).
