@Ramiro SalinasI would recommend connecting with a CPA/Accountant before the end of the year.If you wait until April to connect with an accountant you lose out the ability to talking to him before the end of the year to see if there is anything you can do now to save on taxes.Furthermore, a lot of the good accountants will be busy in April so you are potentially risking not getting with a good accountant.If you are debating on getting an accountant, enrolled agent or CPA - make sure to prioritize whether he/she is capable of handling your tax situation.

I wasn't ready mentally is what it came down too. 

By fostering this open dialogue, you can work together to ensure that properties are well-maintained, ultimately leading to increased satisfaction among tenants and a stronger sense of community within the property.Effectively managing properties with tenants requiring frequent maintenance and appliance replacements requires a proactive and strategic approach that prioritizes the long-term satisfaction of both landlords and tenants.

Seeing the combination on intentional stupidity, complete disregard for taking care of anything, borderline mental health issues, and overall neglectful care of the own well being leads to their home ending up on a TV show.

I have paper applications but should I be using a website instead, i am sort of stuck mentally.

If you of the mentality that "cash flow is king," then you want to think about how to build your buy and hold portfolio, so you can have that rental income every month. 

Usually, most people don't figure out the finer details of their RE journey for a few months after they've mentally decided to get into the game.

My parents negative experience with rentals has been a mental wall for me to break through, but the tales of success that I’ve seen and read keep me going. 

Now,  HIPPA laws mean I can't ask what exactly the potential tenant's mental health issue is,  but I can ask for a letter from  a real doctor saying s/he prescribed a therapy animal.
