Be sure to factor in contingencies for unexpected costs during the rehab process and maintain a realistic cash reserve for property management and maintenance.

I have used TurboTax and Taxcut, so I am looking for an accounting/property management software for Mac.Thanks in advance.

However, I’m actively managing my investment, taking on risk, and improving the property, which has significantly increased its value.

I'm looking for a spreadsheet or tool to use an example to log and track hours spent on real estate Managment.

If the lienor failed to follow the statutory requirements to perfect the lien, the title insurer will probably advise the management company of the problem and request they record a release. 

Since we will be investing remotely, we plan to work with a property management company to oversee day-to-day operations.Does this sound like a solid strategy for a first investment property?

My Wife and I manage the properties, we share in this approx [hours weekly].

I did manage to get the flip rented out on a lease option.

I own a property management company and also a contracting company in Ventura.   

If it's a lender that does not allow me to speak to an underwriter, see guidelines, or speak to an account manager, I will try not to work with them, unless I know the Account Executive is very experienced.
