I'm a novice agent, I'm finding out I might be better suited to investing than to working open houses etc.Rather than spend on gurus, I'm thinking some good software might be a big help.

Use software like Stessa.com for your book keeping/property performance tracking.

A shower pan/glass doors/tile/rain shower head will be much more visually appealing (and I think appraise higher?) 

They use Quickbooks Premier and require 3-4 people to use the software on 3-4 different computers. 

I will be seeing the interior today (which is great because of the rain) so I can see exactly how much of the outside is coming inside.I peaked my head through the windows by the door yesterday and I can see the entire place has been gutted out.

Like others have mentioned, online property management software is a really great way to do this.

Hello, I have a quick question about Cozy. If I have a website, can I add a link for potential rents click to apply?

Now when I generate a rent roll or any other documents from my property management's online software it won't show the section8 payments. 

The MLS features which agents have access to that the public is never supposed to have is the private broker’s notes (which often say if the property is vacant or not, how to access the property etc. which is info that the sellers probably don’t want the general public to have), sales data and market metrics, and other features within the MLS like programs to help pull comps, generate lists, schedule showings, create custom criteria for property listing searches, contact database, contract creation/e-signing software like DocuSign, and of course the ability to list properties.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but if you've never invested before I suggest forgetting about Cleveland and starting in your own backyard.
