I realize this post is 2 years old but someone may have the same question.I use Microsoft One Note for Desktops, it's free and stores your notes in notebooks with tags that are easily searchable for reference later.I have notebooks for Note Investing, Real Estate Investing, Information Technology, and Digital Marketing.Usually, something that I'm studying falls into one of those categories and each notebook has subcategories.

Hey @Max Kulishov, it's not a bad idea - I've done remodels on almost every place I've lived in, and the cool thing is you get to enjoy the renovations, you might have to do some minor repairs prior to moving out but nothing like doing a huge remodel + you can slowly renovate at your own pace rather than having to invest large amounts of money at once. 

It might be worth looking into specialized insurance providers that cater more to investors with rental portfolios, as they usually understand the nuances of long-term investing and tend to be more flexible.Also, if you're investing in certain markets, like Indianapolis, where property values are lower, you can sometimes balance these insurance hiccups with much better returns on your investments.

I can't tell you if their SEO strategy is the greatest but I will continue to work with them because they have invested time and effort to earn my trust.

Most residential agents aren’t proficient in INVESTMENT property, and hence wouldn’t deliver satisfactory results when utilized by investors. 

When should I do the 2nd mortgage route for future investments?

My end goal is to start investing myself.

And you need to weigh those pros and cons to make sure Section 8 investing is the right decision for you personally.I'm currently starting an eviction on one of my S8 tenants because she's trashing the place.
