If you're patient enough and have the funds to do what you're doing, I think it's an excellent idea. 

Hi Jason,Welcome to the community, excellent place to learn from successful investors.

When not studying for the CPA exam, I play hockey and scour Zillow and build financial models for what I hope to be my first investment property.As my career progresses, I hope to continue to grow towards small business tax planning, consulting and compilation while investing in horizontal income streams.Please reach out to me with any technical excel questions or tax scenarios!

We are probably an excellent fit for partnerships.

Here's my problem: While I have excellent credit, I only make about $2,000 in income per month.

Unless you are actually interacting with a ton of people, excel worksheets will probably do the task for you.You CAN purchase lists, but in my experience I feel they are way to expensive for what you get.

Good Luck - Sam "Comb through," means using sorting and filter functions is MS Excel.

Not sure if that's necessarily the case: I have excellent credit, only debt is my mortgage (no car payment, no revolving CC debt, nothing) and my wife and I combined make well over six figures.  

excellent responses.  

It’s an excellent place to start, and can answer many of your questions.
