And also how to get this information into a neatly organized and user friendly format.Very interesting idea though! 

Primarily, we are looking for long-term rentals and have begun our search already.

HOWEVER, there is an interesting way that I found to capitalize on it.I'm also the VP of our city's board of economic development, and our organization has purchased and implemented the locker system.

Come tax time, this takes extra time for my accountant to file and cost me money.I am trying to organize myself and structure myself the correct way moving forward.

I'd like to start investing in rental properties, but am completely unsure of how to set it up as business or when I should.I'm aware I should AT LEAST have a separate/certain card to all of my expenses on and have some sort of filing system to note them (quickbooks, excel, etc.).But when did most of you open a business account, setup an LLC or some other organization to operate under?

I personally feel better organized and need a to-do list.

Now that I have learned a lot more about REI, I have slowly begun to develop this plan.

I have only just begun skip tracing leads but some affordable ones I have found are: Dealmachine, ProfitDrive and LeadSherpa.

You can also call around to the larger churches, food pantries, or other volunteer organizations to see if they offer anything.

Are you involved/planning on getting involved in any meetup groups or real estate investing organizations?
