I am trying to purchase my first property at the end of the year and get started in my RE career.

Orlando is a killer market for sure but starting to show signs of saturation..

Giving a small token of appreciation can start the relationship off well, show you care about the property, show you care about the tenant, and just be a great way to introduce yourself.

So my cautionary tale is when buying seller financed paper, make sure you are very in tune to the value of the property.PS: Even if this started out as performing, same concept applies - make sure you know the numbers/values of the property.

Start networking with other real estate investors who do STR or LTR.

My house is paid off but I’m at a dead end job and would really like to start building more wealth. 

We just started using Baselane, and perhaps we could lean on that more to be able to track the expenses, categorize them per property/per tenant/mark as 'tenant expense'/mark as 'tenant reimbursed' or 'tenant unreimbursed', and then create a security deposit balance report, that would pull everything together.I'm just looking for advice from someone that has already figured out a simple and standard way to handle this.

I'm an investor here myself and moved from Portland OR to Columbus OH to start real estate investing here.

Not to be rude, but it's my experience, that if people dont absolutely love building they won't be good tradesmen.If its learning flipping as a whole, I'd start with J.
