@Scott Trench what platform is that in the screenshot where you track rent yield?

If I do this, agree probably best to go with an experienced expediter with a proven track record.

Currently landlord pays for all utilities, is a system/product/device that can be installed to the water meter that tracks the usage of water through each unit so I would be able to bill the tenants separately?

I wanted to see if there was anyone out there that has used Microsoft excel to keep track of the ROIs of there properties?

You’re on the right track, and it’s a solid strategy to start with long-term rentals to build a stable income base.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

@Reed Starkey, well if your business is tracking and growing that sounds like a good problem to have.

She had too many belongings and it is really hard to quantify clutter much less cleanliness.This to say that one deep cleaning may help get them on track, on-going visits may be successful, or you may need different tenants because a lot of people don't know how to clean.

Try to track days on market and price trends to see how well an area is selling.There is a housing shortage in general, so every house will eventually be a home.

They focus on operations, and if they have 15+ yr track records, they have all the investors they need when they find good deals.
