Any recommendations on the most efficient way to track your time when classified as a real estate professional?

Or recommend any builders?

If you have an older home that requires a lot of maintenance, you probably want to avoid the manager who charges a markup.I recommend shopping around occasionally to see if your PM is procuring fair pricing or just marking you up to make money without justification.As for expectations, you need to read the PM agreement and understand what is charged and why.

@Jeanette LandI always recommend using a tax professional.

If the home has a really nice layout or beautiful interior and it's not getting many showings, I would definitely recommend a video tour.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

There is statutory, and Fannie/Freddie guidelines, that explicitly exempt these transfers from being subject to the Due On Sale Clause...asset protection/estate planning purposes are covered.Why Use LLC when an Umbrella Policy Does the Same?

I work with Property Management in Houston but can recommend some great networking/educational events for you :) Check out Space City REI - there's monthly meetups with an educational speaker relating to real estate investing and there are plenty of Investors looking for Wholesalers out there! 

@Somesh MukherjeeIf you are looking at investing in the cleveland market I would recommend being in areas on the West Side of Cleveland like West Blvd, Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, Edgewater, Jefferson, and Brooklyn Centre.

And if so, where would anyone recommend that I look to do this?
