@Charlie Shew The free workshops are in place to upsell you on expensive future seminars. 

If you are competitive in price and features it should not be much of an issue.

Get a long-term loan (12 years fixed) with a supplemental loan feature to extract the value add. 

If you're looking for generic features, lots of choices.

Originally posted by @Trellis Alexander:@Abel Curiel thank you so much.Anytime, happy to help.With regards to your previous question, I strongly recommend taking advantage of BiggerPockets' 'search' feature.

There are some that charge monthly members, which is a benefit if you're going to maximize all their features and values. 

I've lived in and visited a bunch of places, but western PA has some unique physical and historical features that lead to the SFR characteristics you describe.The chief one is that there is a disproportionate number of 1890-1929 SFR builds of exceptional, lasting quality out here. 

I like the search features: https://www.biggerpockets.com/searchAlerts can be really helpful too: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsThere are a few self-contained guides that you can access here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides

@Harold Albertson, I agree with @Nathan G.that you should provide us what you're needing/wanting the most from your software.On the professional-level (Buildium/Appfolio), there are a ton of features and more accounting functions built in. 

I am in search of some seminars or educational events regarding real estate investing that would be good for a new person to go to!
