I am looking for a way to log all the hours and activity spent on the properties. 1. 

The general reason (avoiding any personal thoughts on wholesaling as a business) is that when you have a license, any fee you get for transacting or assisting in real estate must go through your brokerage and they must take their percentage.

Purchase price: $595,000 Cash invested: $125,000 Purchased with the intent to lease to the tenant.

for up to a maximum 180 days per year in SJ? 

RE: Post Closing.

Hey everyone,I'm looking for some guidance on investing in real estate before the year wraps up.

@Mad Dendukuri easy solution - tell the tenant you can't afford to do flooring AND put them up somewhere, so deal is off.Either they will be reasonable or show themselves to be greedy and someone you should get rid of.

Im also invested myself and have been dealing with the housing market for 18 years.

And I don't know what the cap rates are in the area for SFRs, but I did a quick Redfin search for a small multi-family home in the area that's turnkey: https://www.redfin.com/VA/Richmond/1622-N-31st-St-23223/home.... 

Banks aren't really in the business of lending to real estate investors anyway...they focus primarily on "operating entities", but they can be done.
