This is typically due to a high principal and low median rent within the area or its remote and I believe it may be a struggle to find tenants.

I highly recommend finding some events to go to on meetups.com/Facebook/your local REIA website.

The issue, of course, is that renting close to a college/university is highly seasonal in that students want housing mostly for the beginning of the fall semester. 

@Karan Shah Plano is definitely in high demand.

I’ve been spending time there since I was a child and it feels like a great place, (except for the high crime and drug use, areas which I would never invest in…).

I would look the agent up as well, to make sure that they are a top performing agent (because you should only take advice from someone you would want to switch places with).Hope that helped!

There is some accounting included, like owner statements and keeping track of all the important numbers for a STR property...i.e. occupancy, revenue, RevPAR, etc.As for guidebooks I highly recommend going on Etsy and finding templates for hard copies and templates for a digital copy.

They are on the ball, respond quickly, can and will fund within 10 days if needed and I have had nothing but positive experiences with them and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a HML in areas that they lend in. 

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.
