Happy to send recs in my DM Justin, what software are you using these days? 

@Nathan BrooksI am not local to Richmond, but have several clients who work in that market.Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

A nice tip I got in a youtube video recently is once you've identified a market you wish to invest in, the first member of your so-called team should be other investors in the same market, especially those who are doing something the same or similar as you.

Software: Stessa for accounting, Deal Check for quick and dirty analysis of potential purchasesMarket positioning: Pet-friendly (fenced-yard, accept dogs and cats), well-designed homes, off-street parking, suburban, full cable TV package (not streaming only)Pricing: Targeting upper-middle market (not budget-conscious guests)So far, so good (since 2020)

Thank you all for the tips all!

Quote from @Allison Park: Software is a common question on BiggerPockets.

In reference to you concerns with permits, I went into our Property Management software Appfolio and looked at the property information.  

Happy to connect and share more tips!

Ideally, I’m looking for buyers who can offer fair deals and make the process smooth.If you’ve sold owner-financed notes before, I’d love to hear about your experience—any tips or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated!
