I am having trouble finding distressed properties with enough "meat on the bones" to make enough money on the deal.  

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.

Hi everyone, So I just purchased 2 properties and it is part of a portfolio loan.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

If you were to seek a LOC against #3, you would not get much as an investment property its very difficult to get a LOC and they typically will not go above 75-80% LTV which is where you are at.2.

@Yixin Huang when it comes to accessing the property and maintenance, you want to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!

Quote from @Tamera McNeil: Hello,I am Tamera McNeil and looking into buying rental properties and investing.

What matters are your actual goals with the property.

You’re are such at advantage compared to when I purchased my first property back in 2005.

Any agent can say that they have an all-cash buyer for your property, but at what price?
