Quote from @Himateja Madala: @John Underwood with 6bed/6 bath I am targeting more multi family travelers who prefer staying together.

I find land lording experience to be more work and stress than I would prefer with small kids, but that it is still a nice defensive portfolio position.

It seems that having 5 units sends all the lenders into a frenzy as they prefer to loan on 4.

Mark Vorkapich of Gladstone Strategieshttps://www.gladstonestrategies.com/I do agree with the above on checking with your current CPA to see if they have a preferred provider - sometimes it is easier and with better results if your team already has a good relationship. 

I'm looking to start off in areas with lower costs coming in, preferably under $100k single families but definitely under $200k. 

I'm doing this because then I can cashflow the renovation without having to take out reno loans, it takes a bit longer because projects get done as I have the money to do them but for me I prefer to be a bit more risk adverse and have less debt. 

Many landlords also prefer to rent only to Section 8 tenants, so it can be harder for voucher holders to find the right house unless it’s specifically listed as "Section 8 welcome."

I’m a CPA and my have no preference, but only recently signed up to Xero just to have that ability to offer to a client.

At least in my niche of wholesaling/flipping.

I had generally been just saving my expenses in google sheets to further organize later and receipts in google drive since I can more easily access and upload all my paperwork from my phone and access my drive from anywhere.I have and use excel for some things, but I generally would prefer something more geared towards real estate.
