Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

It helps for warranty claims down the line.For GAF shingles, the 25-year warranty usually requires online registration.

A specific property you find online would be even better.

@Ryan DaultonFrom my experience, the best way to find partners in real estate is through networking events, local REI groups, and online platforms.

Look it up online and see how much u actually can buy.

The majority of buyers appreciate the expertise that a good agent provides (local market knowledge that can only be gained by being active in the market buying and selling all the time, looking at most of the new listings in person or at least online daily, a background in or at least understanding of building construction, relationships within the network of professionals in the industry doing deals, vendor referrals, legal protection through E&O insurance and keeping up with constant changes in approved contracts and required disclosures and forms, negotiating skills (the average person is terrible at negotiating directly and has no desire to, I find Americans are uniquely averse to negotiating and prefer to outsource it but I digress), etc.).

It's challenging to distinguish between genuine advice and potential scams in the vast sea of information available online.

Spend at least 2 hours per day researching online about your desired investment strategies.

but if you are doubting my intention… look me up online and on Zillow reviews.

There's a bunch of online courses available, look for the ones that offer the self-paced $100-$150 courses.
