How did you decide which neighborhood/street/zip code to start with?

Overall, the 78726 ZIP code ranked No. 21 among the hottest ZIP codes in Texas. 

I recommend that you learn the tax code and take ownership over your strategy.Not having some foundational knowledge and an opinion on how to approach taxes as a business owner is a huge mistake.In my experience, every single business owner who says "I just let my CPA worry about it and I focus on my business" is doing a suboptimal job at tax planning.They are likely missing out on 10s or hundreds of thousands in saved dollars every year.Stop making excuses and get to work.Just a few months of part-time learning about taxes will pay you for the rest of your career.

You can also look on the city's website under their construction code.

I only buy in 2 zip codes and have a network of referrals due to that specialization.

@Isadore Nelson I'm currently seeing 154 available rentals on Zillow in the 19119 zip-code, ugh... is exactly the wrong way to analyze a neighborhood, lets use the 19119 zip code for this exercise: Did you know the 19119 zip code is ~ 3.5 Square miles? 

Quote from @Dongzi Wu: SEC Charges Self-Proclaimed 'Queen of Mobile Homes' and Three Salespeople with Fraud in Mobile Home Investment Scheme This is code for investors money is gone unless there is some bank account somewhere or there are assets.. these deals never end good.

Hey Arron,What zip code are your rentals in?

It is required the Property Manager return all personal property belonging to the Owner such as keys, entry codes, copies of lease agreements with existing tenants, tenant deposits, and any other files or information necessary to manage the property and the tenant(s)."

We use accounting software that codes the income and expenses to the property (called a class) so we can run P&L;s on each property with ease.Your accountant and bookkeeper will also thank you later for keeping it simple and avoid significant accounting costs.
