However if this is purely investment (is no plans to move in after some time), you need to objectively do the math on your expected return given what you think price appreciation will be over the life of your ownership ( @Leo Kotschenreuther makes an excellent point) , weighting the risk of a downturn and your ability to continue to fund this investment, and compare that to using your 500k +2k/month to fund any other investment (Amazon stock, bonds, passive investment in a syndicated deal elsewhere.... ) We are holding our San Jose MF, but I've stopped looking for my next deal in silicon valley... property here is all priced for perfection (ultra low cap rates, neg cash flow, smells like 06-07!)

anybody got any good books or YouTube videos that anybody can recomend?

Toughen up and watch some youtube videos of cold calls, etc. 

All located in the basement in excellent condition (probably the best part of the whole property).

I've done videos on the subject. 

Purchase price: $4,500,000 Cash invested: $1,150,000 Sale price: $5,500,000 This was a 4 month flip with excellent returns.

The app is excellent, offering estimated home values that are sometimes more accurate than Zillow’s algorithm.

Also, I clearly am very green to the whole process and don't have a CRM set up and was planning on simply using an Excel spreadsheet.

I think this is a goldmine and I just need some guidance....id be willing to pay for it...i want to export an excel sheet of cash buyers, pre-foreclosures and any other types of leads that could help me....i actually almost invested in the S.M.A.R.T program but im almost positive realist is the brains of their operations.....any guidance or advice?
