We use DealCheck to underwrite deals and QuickBooks Online for everything related to accounting and numbers.Classes allow for separate P&Ls for each property.

Kitchens and bathrooms are always a good bet, but think beyond the basics.

ThanksI bet that's a good short term rental market!

Been getting nowhere with zoning laws found online and in the local library for Yonkers (in westchester county) as to whether any permits are needed in order to operate such a business. 

@MikeLambert thanks for all the insight on Tulum I love the town and would like to purchase A condo For myself don’t care if it doesn’t make much money  but obviously would like a great location I am a dual citizen and want own property in MexicoI probably won’t stay there much if at all I just love to buy real estate one of my addictions 😂Searched online There are so many developments from $100k - $200k would be my comfort level if any of you guys have recommendations on location would appreciate it 

There are so many online hard money lenders.

Apologize if these questions are vague, I am quite new to this.Happy to provide some of the data I have found thus far (though data online is scarce given the size of the town).Thanks!
