Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.

Your brokerage is required to supervise you, and maintain all records of the transaction, just like any other client. 

In addition to risk, there is also salary cost the teams leading the renovations, leasing, sales, etc, and if applicable an assignment fee to a wholesaler that you will also not find in any public records.

Buildim has a general ledger so you can record credit card transactions the same as in any other bookkeeping software 1- add to chart of accounts a current liability called for example capital one credit card2- when you want to record a credit card transaction go to general ledger create a journal entry, for example if you swiped your card for a maintenance expense in the amount of 1,000  youshould debit maintenance 1,000 and credit your liability account called capital one credit card for 1,000so your liability account balnce is always the same amount as your credit card balance 3- if you pay intrest on your credit card add to charts of accounts an expense account called capital one intrest fees and when you got charged intrest create a journal entry debiting capital one intrest expense account and crediting your liability account 4- to record a payment to your credit card you can record a check from your bank account payable to capital one you should add them as a vendor or you can do a journal entry It simple for anyone with a little bookeeping knowledge and btw thats how its also done in quickbooks or anywhere else And thats the correct way doing it although there are a few other workaround ways for exemple creating a contra asset or as paying a vendor So i dont know why you blame buildium it would be the same with any other software 

@Brice Alef-Torrisi To manage finances for multiple properties, maintain separate bank accounts for each property if held under different LLCs to avoid commingling, which could jeopardize liability protection and complicate tax deductions.If properties are under one LLC, using a single account is fine but requires detailed record-keeping for each property.

If, a year from now, you have an extra $20k piled up because you have been serious about this, it established a bit of a track record and proves that you are a doer and not just a dreamer.I would also express gratitude that you have a partner that is so cautious.

@Richard Benjamin Wilhite, A great place to start would be the county appraiser records. 

If it is recorded as built in 1920, that is what the insurance will be based on.The most valuable update with regards to insurance is the roof. 

That is why PreREO requires the defaulted note buyer/partner to file for a court hearing requesting a third party independent receiver to be given court approval to accept rent on behalf of the actual owner of record and divert the funds to you, the note buyer prior to taking title via a completed foreclosure.

Right now, you may be looking at it as scalable, but assembling a team without a track record is hard because some may end up being leeches.
