I stumbled onto the deal dog software today and was skeptical about it so I decided to do some research first.

I was in search of something that could manage rental applications, write rental leases for me, manage a website for me (so I could stop having to keep update mine), collect rent, maintenance requests, and formal communication channels with tenants (instead of text messages).After looking Buildium and Appfolio (the titians in the industry IMO), I was able to stumble across TenantCloud.

Actually, I stumbled onto this thread because @Andrew Herrig mentioned 'Alabama'.

I actually stumbled upon BiggerPockets looking to find some avenue to begin learning more about real estate investing and it has been a tremendous resource! 

I'm going to post a link to the first mention I could find incase it saves someone time that might stumble on this thread.PETIOThe property at initial analysis has have merit as a flip.Good reminder about knocking on doors. 

Schenectady has some tax issues that can be challenging, and Cohoes has a court which stumbles all over itself to let non-paying tenants live rent-free.

I feel very lucky to have stumbled on to this site and forum, that has such a wealth of information available.

Yes, there is a RIREIG meeting this Thursday in fact, though I know you've already been there Marc; just posting for the benefit of anyone who stumbles on this thread or via keyword alert :)Looks like the main speaker this month is speaking about LLCs and partnerships: http://rireig.com/meetings/

@Matthew Parker , I stumbled on this post.I'm relocating to the Ocean Springs area and looking to get some feedback. 

I'm pretty blessed to have stumbled into enough start up money to not have to boot strap it too hard.
