The items you'll need to track are:Date of ExpenditureVendor Name/Tenant NameAmountCategory of Expense (look at a Schedule E to get this)/ or Revenue Type (Rent, Deposit, Utility Reimb, etc)Property (for when you have multiple properties.Put it in a nice column format like this:Date                     Vendor/Tenant                Amount                      Category                  Property1/1/18                   Joe Smith                         $1500.00                     Rent                           123 Main Street1/5/18                  Home Depot                   - $20.00                        Repairs                       567 Oak StreetSo that when you share your spreadsheet, they can filter for what they want. 

We have learned a ton and I want thousands of units one day but for now just trying what to do next with this one. ok so the issue is that home was built in 1932 and the heating is an issue in the winter and the heating costs are really high for the tenants.

That is the issue, I did not feel that I was provided enough specific details, so that is why I was reaching out on this forum to see if anyone has had any direct investor experience with them or any other operator who has deals that are not working out as planned so that perhaps we can learn from whatever mistakes may have been made. 

Are you saying that you wouldn't start Demo until you have done all of the Exterior items on this list? 

I do it from a beach, you need a team, get off the internet, don't read, don't learn, don't do research, just call my team, happy to assist"

Quote from @Claude Diamond: Quote from @John Slater: I’m learning some states have laws against door knocking pre-foreclosures/distressed homeowners.

Of course I still need to decide which part of the country I plan on investing in (it's possible I'm moving around the country frequently in the first year, so that is making me think about the most ideal location for an initial investment).Once established and with a track record in Spain, I plan on making my first investment here in the US, most likely in the Boston/MA area.In any event, I'm excited to connect and learn from those in this group.If you know anyone with international investment properties or contacts abroad, especially in Spain, I would love to connect!

@Nicholas McDonald I would recommend starting with something smaller to get your feet wet and start learning.

I'm just curious to learn from others' experiences.
