From what I have learned so far, I don't think it will be wise for me to try to tackle the job of property management.

I've done some outside projects before but I'm looking to tackle bigger projects and need more precision.  

You might want to learn a little more before tackling such a big deal.

We only received the deposit claim today, so we should be within the 15 day period.The following two paragraphs are the only ones that tackle repairs:"Tenant agrees to take good care of the house and its equipment, or if damaged, other than ordinary wear and tear, Tenant will make repairs and replacement equal in quality to the original construction and if the Landlord makes these repairs, the Tenant agrees to pay cost of same upon presentation of bills.""

I was a bit more than I wanted to tackle, I already have a full time job.  

Here are the key questions to think through before you get it going:1) what do you want to buy2) how much can we afford3) how will you pay for it 3) what are you going to do with it afterHere is how we tackled this challenge:1) Find a reputable and responsive agent to work with: we worked with @Sharon Tzib2) Get pre-qualified with a good and local lender that work with investors: we usedd Rochelle Frazeur from New American. 3) Use some good MLS criteria to set up lists with your agent3) Find out how to identify a good deal: We got our hands on some good cash flow analysis calculators (thanks to @Sharon Tzib) and we used the calculators on BP as well4) Make neighborhood visits to those areas of your interest5) Find other venues to meet up with other investors or go to workshops and meet up's: We've attended BP meet up in Houston, events with Jet Lending, meeting with Wholesalers, and we've met one-on-one with other investors6) Look for non-MLS sources to find properties for sale: wholesalers, and local listing through Rich club or word of the mouth7) Talk to the property manager if you are planning on using on.

I feel notes is the next step to tackle in this business.Got it!

Cam embraced some pretty aggressive tackles today.

I'm looking for any and all advice, successes, failures, any information to help me tackle this project!

Now that my divorce is a couple years behind me,  I'm wanting to be more serious about tackling this beast and really get involved.
