@Gabe Goudreau If you're planning on fixing up the home and selling, it's best to make sure there's market demand for modular homes in the area.

Now that my goals are clear, I'd like to take the initial steps.

Completely not interested in having jerks and dealing with them.Please do not advise to have a property management company as I will not.I only have a few units and I have a full time job so this is a passive income.My rent prices are slightly below the market value.I live in Tennessee.Thanks

Quickbooks is far more than the average investor needs for accounting, and it doesn't do the other 17 tasks a landlord wants like marketing property, tracking maintenance, landlord reports, etc.Software is a common question on BiggerPockets.

Hi James, not sure what markets you are interested in, but if you are interested in Memphis or Detroit (where I have 9 doors), I would be happy to connect and knowledge share.
