Know why accountants wear Brown Shoes?

We drove a lot and worn out shoe sole.Finally we find the deal from a wholesaler from Central Florida, in the city of Mount Dora (zip 32757), in a quiet and excellent neighborhood between two good schools and low crime zone.

So far we have used it mostly for Tenant Management, and still use a tenant screening component that the our local landlords association offers, and do accounting in Sage/Peachtree which is what we use for our 'day job' business for over 20 years.Things we like are: price for the number of units, quick view of rents due/paid, great 'to do' section tied to each property/renter (for each unit of a multi), etc....

I don't want to start collecting properties and get stuck with them and have all of my assets tied up in that. 

I realize there are so many ways to go about this, and it would be very informative to see what you guys would do if you were in my shoes.

I don't want them sitting there for long with money tied up in them when I could be renting it out.

I don't want every penny of liquid money I have to be tied up in the project.

im looking for advice from experienced investors on what they would do in my shoes. where should I start.

Worry free living and not being tied down to a location.

@Keaton English I definitely need to keep in mind that there could be some emotional ties to the property and I need to adjust my pitch so that I am not offending anyone.
