Recently, my husband and I sold our home in TX with one objective - to kick off our real estate investment journey.

Consult a Realtor, contractor, property manager, or lender, and then request referrals for the remaining three.

I am a new real estate investor who is looking to close on my first deal in the next 2 weeks and I want to be prepared for tax season.

While these are options, it sounds like you are very new to real estate, and I don't suggest either of these options for people that are brand new to real estate, for various reasons.  

If you are considering a CRM for a team, then you have to consider the ability to customize and generate management reports.

@Sharon Patterson, any rehab is a "project" and basic project management principles state that there are 3 key interrelated aspects to all projects: time, scope, and cost.

Any opinions on people who have tried managing their own properties.

My name is Brandon Schaar and I am based in Deerfield Beach which is 15 minutes north of Fort Lauderdale.

I think super detailed stuff like tax law is interesting, and I have plenty of experience with 1031s and SFR investing, but a Turnkey operator on a forum shouldn't be your tax advisor ;) Sorry to raise your hopes and then dash them - I will speak more carefully in future.All the best,Clayton
