Anybody have a course, book, or other learning resources you intended to use to help learn a certain aspect of real estate investing, but you ended up not getting your money's worth?

Since it is only one property, i think excel sheet will be enough but if you buy a few more properties, you should use some kind of property management software as it covers almost every aspect of your property management work.Here is the list of individual softwares that a lot of independent real estate owners use.Document storage : Google drive, Dropbox, BoxRent payment : Cozy, Zelle, Rentpaymen.com, ClickpayAccounting : Quickbooks, Freshbooks, Xero 

@Alan Grobmeier Thank you for your input, it's helped me to consider some aspects I neglected to look at before.

Wondering what tips you've learned about the educational aspect and the aquisition of sheriff sale properties, preforeclosure and foreclosure properties.

I'm not entirely sure how, so hopefully somebody can shed some light on that aspect.

So if your targeting remodels as development then you have better chances as the commercial aspect is already established and, in most cases, adding residential and the draw for ppl to live there is a much easier sell then if the situation was reversed.

The marketplace invents things and the regulators reduce the nasty elements or aspects after they have developed.
