I started my domain over 10 years ago when people first started going online trying to buy fixer upper houses.

The amount of ideologically inspired nonsense online is mind-boggling. 

You’re online listing doesn’t need to be a comprehensive photo shoot of every single nook and cranny of your home  

In most states they must be published in a local paper which all are online.

Microsoft Excel, and most budget or free online bookkeeping isn't going to cut it in this situation.For the rental properties you own directly, I often tell clients and prospects that a P&L in Microsoft Excel is just fine and a balance sheet is not necessary for tax purposes. 

For something more robust, tools like Excel or online calculators from financial planning sites might better suit your needs.Your ROI Formula:ROI = (Net Cash Flow ÷ Total Out-of-Pocket Investment) × 100For your scenario:Net Cash Flow = Annual Rental Income - (Mortgage Payment + 401k Loan Payment + Other Expenses)Total Out-of-Pocket Investment = $40,000 cash + $50,000 loan payments over 5 years.I came across a piece in Bloomberg recently discussing creative financing, and they touched on ROI calculations for multiple loans.Personal anecdote: A buddy of mine leveraged a 401k loan for a fourplex.

This is merely what I've observed from the content I 've seen online. 

If you choose an online program, ask how much access you have to the coach.

Most of the programs have expensive add- ons and  generic mentoring through some online " meet-up".
