I'm a sales analyst from Columbus, Ohio and am currently learning all I can about small multifamily investing toward the goal of creating a house hack for my family by summer 2017.  

As of now I'm very interested in house hacking with the end goal being to live completely mortgage free by earning enough from tenants.

I would like to start keeping books on my properties vs having their financial information buried in my personal finances.My questions for the community:1) If my goal is to eventually seek financing from others and therefore I will need P&L Statements and other reports on my properties, what software should I use - Quickbooks, Buildium, etc?

I have some information that may help you with your goals.

My goal is to pay a fair price for good service and not be taken advantage of.

My excitement for investing is growing faster than my savings account so I am hoping to learn even more about creative financing and gain the courage to get out there and start building my portfolio!

Also, I can show you some tools I have that can help you serve your clients investment goals.

My current income is good, but financial freedom is my goal!

My goal is to build a portfolio of multifamily rentals. 

We are a long way from our goal of replacing our W2 income, but things are starting to move much quicker.
