It took me a very long time studying and researching experienced investors in my own network before I was willing to fork over a dime and they have been in the game forever.

Kudos to the other posters for researching your market value for you too.I might try saying less in the ad about how you intend to nickle and dime the renter, sometimes less is more.That said, having showings and no applicants is disturbing.

I can use my nickels and dimes all day.

Don't play with other people's money and learn things on your own dime.

Now I know this might sound like I am trying to nickel-and-dime my tenants, but when you take into account that those days really add up it seems more like the tenants that are getting a free ride. 

Deal analysis tools are a dime a dozen, you can use spreadsheets, web apps, native mobile apps, etc, it all depends on your preference.There are a bunch of Excel spreadsheet templates in the BP fileplace for analyzing rental deals or rehabs.Here's a few:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/JasonScott/file/20-sfh-rental-analysishttps://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/brandonatbp/file/brandon-turners-spreadsheet---rental-flip-hybrid-calculatorOtherwise, BP has their own Calculators you can use to analyze rentals or flips.https://www.biggerpockets.com/buy-and-hold-calculatorhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/flip-analysisWhat type of deals are you trying to analyze?

Even if you don't make a dime from a mentor, the experience can be priceless.3.

Get moving yesterdauy on th eviction, you are likley not going to see another dime in rent money.

My advice is, get what is required in your state and then move forward and along the way if you want to get additional certifications go for it but, understand that certifications aren't really going to translate into higher cash-flow in a nickle and dime business... hope this helps. 

Create a goal to meet with a 3-5 new investors every week.After you get your property, take every dime and put it back into paying down debt or as down payments on new, bigger properties.
