Testing the market may get you an offer you're looking for!

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

It sounds like you've done a lot of the preparation work required to hit the ground running. 

For example, are there specific documents or information I should prepare, or would identifying a target property first be more beneficial?

Doing so will help you avoid capital gains tax if you decide to sell later.Second: Test it out by renting the property for a year.

If you’re not prepared to put in the work, even the best coach in the world won’t be able to help you.

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

Attitude and professionalism are paramount; product knowledge next, and then there's your contact/follow-up systems.Put that together, price-test against the market, and you'll have a sustainable, constantly expanding, and very profitable venture.Good luck! 

Be prepared for a high rate/high fees
