I understand this can vary by market but this number has served me well.

In my market there are a lot of homes that are between $30k and $75k that could easily be turned into short-term rental investments. 

I rented it long term but the market for Airbnb has gone up.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

The brokerage uses this to pay for lots of stuff office supplies, CRM, insurance, marketing, etc..

I'm wondering if anybody has had any experience with the Maryland market.

Texas had some hurricanes and I have properties (Market value $300K, Roof damages $25K).

You can simply google NACA and find their website and information to learn more about it.

You can find some deals on the market, but they are definitely the lowest hanging fruit and always attract a lot of attention.

One of my first orders of business is to start learning how to do market research so...Question- what is the best way for a newcomer to learn to conduct Market Research?
