I would pick a market area you like and start doing a bunch of deep dive deal analysis, but from a rental and not a life style standpoint.  

I also believe you have an obligation to discloss if property is being used inconsistent with DCA record - even if attorney/buyer fails to pick-up on the issue.

Pick solid operators and solid asset classes.We syndicate self-storage projects.

One of my clients picked up a duplex in Albany Park last year, and the rental income not only covered the mortgage but also gave him extra cash for daycare expenses.

I had a renter that rearranged all the furniture, left everything absolutely filthy, grease spilled all over the counters and oven, food spilled on the floors and table, trash left everywhere, etc.

We will see more investors walk away because the properties aren't performing well, but other investors will pick them up and the quantity will remain high.Rates are anyone's guess.

That said the best way to pick your accounting software is to find a Tax CPA you like and ask them what they prefer.

The same was being said 15 years ago and we went from this huge shortage to being able to pick almost any home you wanted for 4 years and we were not building anything. 

Some of my clients in this scenario literally just pick-up the phone, tell the seller of their specific property they are interested and they are well qualified, and see if there is some kind of fit. 

It gets into the furniture and permeates each room they hang out in.
