@Timothy Foster GC, our company steps in and helps as well (design, do's and dont's, etc).

The key I find that helps me in addition to education from books, webinars, podcasts... is meeting people face to face and interact with like minded people and then execute what I learned as much as possible. 

Looking to interact with everyone in this community to discuss investment topics/strategy!

I have always read many of the articles and never interacted with the other members.

Meanwhile using a PM app to manage your property income (and other events) necessarily associates every transaction with an object, ie, a building or a tenant account.Unless you had a standardized way of depositing your rent every month, there would not be a way to import these transactions without some human interaction, to confirm their association.QB is owned by Intuit, a huge company, so they can work some additional magic re: bank linking.

If during the interactions, they can develop a trust in you, it makes things easier.

Here's an interactive map that uses the 2000 and 2010 census data. 

I look forward to interacting with local bigger pockets members and members across the country.  

Feel free to interact in the forums. 

feel free to interact in the forums, meet some great people, and definitely provide more value to the community by sharing your thoughts, experiences, and of course, success stories!
