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.

These smaller-scale developments not only cater to the growing demand for affordable housing but also promote community living, walkability and neighborhood or community revitalization.Collaboration has been key in navigating these challenges, with developers, lenders, and policymakers working together to find innovative solutions.

- Find a private lender to fund the downpayment- Find a partner to provide the capital, while you provide the knowledge and experienceHope some of these helped.Happy investing! 

I will use GC scope of work, lender #'s, etc when I find one.
