I like using QB for tracking expenses and was thinking of rent redi for rent payments, maintenance requests, and screening.

I'm fine with doing some minor fixes and improvements to a property: Adding overhead lighting/fans, better flooring, maybe redoing a main bathroom.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

We use RankBreeze and that helps us identify and track what is working and what we should change.

I agree that you can use a Realtor with a proven track record. 

While you work on that, you could also explore creative financing options like DSCR loans or partnerships to fast-track your first STR.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

Whether you’re planning a new build, reviewing MEP systems, or tackling a renovation, a professional review can keep your project on track.📩 Message me if you’d like help getting your plans approved!"

The only thing I will say that I wish they offered within the app that they don't is a way to track mileage. 

Consider connecting with local REI meetups, hospitality groups, or even online forums like this one to find like-minded investors.You could also pitch your successful track record to potential equity partners.
