I couldn't map the information no matter how hard I tried to click and change values. 

Be wary of how you come across the deals you come across - i.e. clicking on an add to invest is probably not great.

I make sure they're well insulated, have replacement windows, spend more on nice flooring that looks great (plank style / wood-look porcelain tile, hardwood or click-together LVT planks, not peel-and-stick squares). 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

@Tramaine Robinson I can’t pinpoint a moment in time where it “clicked,” but instead I’ve found a series of small victories that yielded improvements.My first profit gave me confidence.  

I learned the most from doing deals the most than watching podcasts so totally agree.You should be able to find more agents if you click on the "agents" tab on BiggerPockets

But even after we get everything organized, it's still just so annoying to use so slow (pages load slowly and every click on a report results in a pause while it fetches data, it's just tedious).  

You can click on the magnifying glass in the upper corner to see the last 2000 posts. 

However, I would avoid neighborhoods where the vast majority of the homes are owner occupied and all of the homes are really well kept - you can do a quick search on county GIS or software and click on the homes to see if they are owned in personal names or LLCs. 

This is despite there being other similar single-family home listings in the area that are not grouped in this way.I contacted Zillow about this issue, especially since when I search for my specific listing directly and click on the public view, it shows outdated information (e.g., old history) rather than listing it as available for rent.What is going on with Zillow’s listing display?
