@Tim SchroederIdeally you would like all the information in one place(which would be the accounting software that you choose).Being able to get a snapshot of what mortgage balance, income, expenses, equity in any given period is great.However, in reality, you only need to put in information that you find will be useful to you.Income/expenses are a definite since you will likely use those figures when you file your taxes.The other information such as asset cost, equity, downpayment provide you information that you will likely only find useful that in reality - you can possibly get by looking at a mortgage statement or such.With that said - track information because you need it or find it useful.

@Alex Stoll I can definitely help connect you with most of the wholesalers here in KC.

I am looking at 2-4 unit properties, so I will definitely check out Upstate Mortgage. 

I definitely appreciate your input and I'll keep looking to see what I can find.You mentioned CapEx and I know that some investors work it into their calculations.

Thanks for the info on the meetup, I'll definitely be going.

My 24 STRs are definitely not rented to the typical person that uses Airbnb or VRBO. 

@Erik Pedersen Its definitely extremely risky to buy without viewing the interior but they why these properties often sell at a significant discount.

So yes, I will definitely want to house hack to start.

Furthermore, I do have some equity in the house and at some point I’m definitely going to take out a line of credit against it as a down payment on my first deal.

@Bob Okenwa thanks for the information I’m definitely doing more research on it and even meeting with a local agent about it getting my license.
