To name few features, you can connect your bank & credit card account(s) to QBO to automatically download the transactions daily, set up rules for any recurring charges, setup recurring transactions (ie invoices to tenants), sent out reminder (individual or batch), accept online payments (cc & bank) which can be tenant or landlord initiated, track multiple income sources (ie. flip, rental, wholesale), track individual properties, charge tenants for reimbursable expenses, track 1099 contractors (and e-file tax forms), and create a budget.

Those are a completely legit source of down payment.

I have listened to a lot of the podcasts and read a lot of books so I know about the other sources of getting leads but I have a VA loan to use to buy my first property so there are some pretty specific restrictions with that .I'm using the VA loan because I have no money for a downpayment so FHA and conventional loans aren't an option.

ABoR housing market data underscores not only the ongoing strong housing demand in our region, but the critical need for more housing stock at all price points in and around Austin.”

I have the occasional one that leaves after 1 year but if your goal is to buy rentals then the more you get the placement fee will become less critical as the whole portfolio will average out most tenants staying for multiple years. 

Some have short lists....Just like any other lead source it is not always quick easy profitable deals to be had. 

What's the source of funds within the 401k?
