I think I've done my bookkeeping almost every way you can - from not at all -> keeping receipts in a shoebox and handing over the entire shoebox to my CPA -> running 10-key tapes on all the receipts for each category and handing those tapes to my CPA -> DIY Quickbooks -> paying a bookkeeper to manage everything in Quickbooks -> to now doing it myself using Baselane.

There are a lot of good posts on here so I would take some time and read the forum so you can hit the ground running.

This seems to be breaking down new construction and is a national average so kind of hard to read into this what it means in general but I would not expect a 665k new construction house to be my target for a rental property. 

Open to any ideas, looking forward to reading any ideas you may have!

I am certain, I have many more questions and things I should consider and look forward to reading many of the informative posts on the website and look forward to hearing your advice, thoughts and/or questions.Thanks!

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.

I just read about it this morning and think it is great news.

You can do all the book reading in the world and still lose your *** in real estate.

I've read Avery Carl's book and done a lot of research on (and off) Bigger Pockets.
