Changing locks, touch up painting, carpet cleaning, etc. costs don't tend to change a whole lot if you rent the unit for $300 or $600.

Their interface and features are dated, and the worst of all they lock you into a 1 year contract.

I'm under the impression that when I find buyers who've done multiple cash transactions in the past, they'll want to pull the trigger on a good amount of the properties I find.

I guess my question is since the property is locked up with a contract at the title company already, would you trust that people in the area are going to respect that contract and let the local investors see the property with the owner there??

Hello all,My mother-in-law has two houses (one SFH, one two-family) that she owns and I'm about to take over the day to day managing of them, and I wanted to get people's advice and input regarding software for bookkeeping purposes.Through my accountant, I can get a discounted rate on Quickbooks Online Pro for $20 a month, and that's locked in for life.It looks like QBO is not geared specifically towards landlords and rental properties, but is more generic for any kind of small business, although I do see plenty of people giving it good reviews.Of course every product claims to be the best, but I'm curious to get other people's opinion on both QBO and any other software out there that they use.Thanks.

I had to install a anti siphon/back wash valve on the utility sink and we removed the water softener as it was not plumbed "correctly" - could not lock the bypass. 

I am wondering if anyone has ever used a consultant to review a deal before you pulled the trigger.  

If you have mortgage on the property, the note could be called immediately, as you transferring the property to LLC triggers the due on sale clause.

Yep, I wanted some kind of name that would trigger people to click on it. :) (it worked!)

New investor eyes don't read all the signs well so you have to make sure you get those numbers down best you can before pulling the trigger.
