I am using this now:https://www.realestateexpress.com/This is an online school. 

If I am using an established property management company, do I still need to worry about utilizing a real estate attorney?

Atleast the one I am using does..veristone.  

Well technically I am using part of savings.

A similar claim, but not related to your question, that I find amusing is the guy who buys a tax lien that may get redeemed in a month, or a similar low dollar quick pay out deal, and he gets 2.5% in a month........he then brags about his "30% annualized return".  

It was amusing watching some  come to the auctions, back when they were live, thinking they could buy good houses for $200, because they saw all these foreclosure sales "for $100" going back to the lender, under the same circumstances.

I am relatively new and I am using separate bank accounts for all my transactions.  

Hi everyone,I have a question specifically about claiming expenses (tax deductions) on "major" renovations/repairs for rental properties, specifically in Canada (but perhaps US has a similar system).As far as I'm aware, in Canada at least, renovations can either be considered as current expenses (ie: tax deductions on your yearly rental income) or capital expenses (ie: tax deductions that are applied only upon the sale of the property).I am using the following link to distinguish between these two types of renovations. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/rental-income/current-expenses-capital-expenses.htmlI plan to perform two major renovations on my rental income property this year (brick wall repair and roof repair).

That is tough to do at this stage as I am using a branded Freddie Mac product that allows 5% down on a three unit so I can't just take this to another local bank and get the same terms.  

I don't have a broker I am using to identify properties, I am doing that myself with the intention of bringing in some expertise once I have zoned in on something and need to do some due diligence / put an offer in.
