Interactive Brokers is where I manage my client funds, obviously their rates are favorable for real estate investors like us :)

I am excited to get started in real estate investing and look forward to interacting with you more on this platform.

This is my first unit and I am trying to scale as quickly as I can so every $50/month helps, but spending too much cash to renovate elements that won't return will really set me back as well. 

You'll need to learn how to interact with potential tenants so that you don't accidentally violate the act and get sued. 

Here's examples from Interactive Brokers.

If it was originally exposed to the elements it may have been built with a slope to drain water.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I put a lot of real estate content on my social media and anyone who interacts with it, I find a way to connect with them.
