I have been renting rooms in my home as mid-term rentals and have experience in that area. 

My name is Dean Halpin and i'm currently a wholesaler/investor in the El Paso area, and i'm looking to buy my first ever rental property, but would definitely need some assistance in the process.

That is roughly the same for my rental, I agree.

You can look into the BiggerPockets-affiliated software for landlords here in the Tools section.Another option could be a local Realtor who either works a ton of rentals or does a lot of business in North Austin.The software route may still require involvement on your end i.e. setup, communication, document review, etc. 

Find Investment OpportunitiesMarket Research: Analyze local real estate market trends, property prices, rental yields, and potential for appreciation.Network: Build relationships with real estate agents, investors, wholesalers, and property managers who can provide leads and insights.Due Diligence: Conduct thorough inspections, financial analysis, and feasibility studies before making a purchase.6.

I live up in The Woodlands area and have several rental properties in the Spring/The Woodlands/Conroe area.

Before that we used our 'day job' system which is Sage, but it is way overkill for rentals and doesn't give us a lot of property specific reports either.

Been looking at a structure which will be optimal for having a portfolio of rental properties, financial investments, and all the other general life stuff, which will assist in asset protection, as well as tax liability etc.Thoughts on this?

Rentals in those cities MAY yield you 3% net, why bother? 

Hello-New to hard money but not to rentals, I own 5 doors that I have funded myself but want to keep some reserves so looking into hard money for my next deal and will refinance into a conventional loan to keep the property.Are these typical hard money terms or is this too much?
