Personally, I think it's best to choose a market based on how well it achieves your investment goals and objectives, not on how close it is to you.

You run away from a property that is cash flow negative when your objective is cash flow.  

I recently started using cozy.co to process online rent payments.

I use QB Desktop and I remembered seeing this function there but maybe not the same with Online QB.

Does anyone know if it would be safe for me to go ahead and take an online course before I move, or is it mandatory that I reside within Tennessee before completing my education towards a real estate license? 

It was also a great investment, but not something she or we wanted to retain and try to operate from a different state after graduation, so putting the house up for sale at graduation was always the plan.Our daughter's part of the bargain when we purchased the house was to keep the house full of renters, which she was able to do all except for the final academic year, when continued covid-19- related campus closures, which drove many students to take classes online from their parents' home, meant one of the 7 beds was empty. 

Are there templates online that would allow me to put something together, which I could then present to a lawyer? 

Multi’s offer economies of scale; but it is far more important that you master the fundamentals of investing and set your goals and objectives.

I have not been able to find anything online confirming that. 

@Lorry Champagne There is so much information online that you can find for free.
