When a tenant moves out, transfer the deposit back to Checking so it's ready to apply towards expenses or refund the Tenant.If you end up with excess funds in the Checking account, I recommend you transfer it to a third account designated explicitly for future investments.

I want to get control of the properties, remodel and furnish, while protecting this investment.  

My recommendation is to see if you can work for a company in real estate or wholesaling that way you get training and education while getting paid 

Hi everyone,I'm a new home buyer from Bay Area and trying to get pre-approvals in place before I start making offers.

Aside from building trust and relationships, knowing what your investors are looking for and generating leads....I think the most important thing is getting your number right.

Contact the zoning department and see if you can get the property rezoned as a duplex.

Even more exciting, I’m already getting my second property under contract tomorrow with my partner.A huge thanks to everyone for the incredible content!

Get a Google number or burner. 

You'll still get people who respond with "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE", but you will get a large number of people who say "NO' or "PASS".You still want to remove these contacts manually from your database to prevent them from inadvertently being messaged again. 

For the first 10 houses (all residential single family homes), we would get a typical landlord insurance policy and our properties are owned in either my husband or my name (not through an LLC).
