I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, gain insights from others, and contribute value wherever I can in the real estate field.

These are features like online renter payments, tenant portal (for payments and work orders), help keeping track of work orders, tax reporting features, and accounting functionality.

And you now have to file three tax returns:- partnership tax return- your individual tax return reporting 1/2 of the partnership losses- your partner's individual tax return reporting their 1/2 of the partnership lossesAnd while partnership return can be DIY-ed, it probably should not be.

I picked her exactly because she had a good social and online footprint!!

Definitely join your local chapter of REIA (real estate investors association) or join one of the ones that are fully online (Columbus and Cincinnati).

I individually priced all my materials and got several estimates from contractors.

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.

I’m very glad things didn’t work out.Lastly, Zach’s partner, Daniel, who seemed to be a more level-headed individual didn’t help matters any.

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.
