You didn't see it on your previous loans because something in your initial disclosure packet authorized us to go behind your back and get it from the insurance provider directly, and your lender probably did just that. :)

If you are not totaly against paying for software tools that help save your time :) you can try mobile apps like Landlordy, Property Buddy or DIY Landlord (disclaimer - I'm the author of the first one) - they'll help you deal with income and expense tracking with convinience (much better than Excel, in my opinion thanks to integration with camera for receipts and email/messages integration).

@Chris Seveney,Did you authorize and agree for them to stay in the hotel?    

If you are annoyed as a tenant you have the authority as landlord to do something about it. 

Learn what authorities the Association and its Board have before you ask them to do something.  

Check out my BP blogs:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/author/brettsnodgrass/I believe that wholesaling can work in every market, but it does differ on how you go about it.

I recommend you contact an attorney or Housing Authority for your particular county.

Make sure to take pictures when doing a walkthrough of the property with new tenants.Find a property management company or if you are guna rent it yourself and market it, write up an ad to post on craigslist, trulia, zillow, etcFind a site to run background And credit checks on applicants, there are a ton online, i've used rental authority in the past, i doubt they are the "best" or most known but there are a lot out there to use.Make multiple copies of the keys and some would suggest replacing the locks if someone else owned the property.
