People told me I could hire someone to help setup QB for my rentals but this would have cost a couple grand.

So, I would find a handyman or something who could do that or maybe first just have the cleaning person try a product by hand meant to remove scratches which I think does the same thing but with manual scrubbing.

How do most people do this?

I'm local here in Asheville, and eager to help you connect to other people and resources if you want to have a call.

I have made a post on BP before and some people have suggested a DSCR loan.

A few people still do first and last month's rent but we quit on the last month's rent years ago and just do first and deposit.2.

Yes, you can sell it.Sometimes Peoria will grandfather a duplex and refer to it as a "legal nonconforming" single family zoned property with duplex as permitted use.If this is the case the new owner will be able to legally and officially use it as a duplex.I have also heard of people finding an architect to declare that the house was originally built as a duplex, which would help you get it rezoned as multi-family and duplex as permitted use.PM me for more info.

But more often than not, people choose the full service, hand holding for 5-6%.

I've started a rehab on a SFH and after getting into the project, I've discovered a handful of things that will most certainly push me over budget on my rehab leaving me short of funds. 

Since I don't want to hijack your thread here, I'm going to start a thread on crazy guests, lol- just so people can vent.
