If it is your first, you don't need software just yet-- already there will be such a learning curve from how to manage your place and talking to customers.

Hello all,New to the real-estate scene but getting started and excited to see where this goes.

@Hector RosarioWhat was your epiphany to wanting to invest in real estate?

I dont have experience buying but have looked into it, from what I can tell, if you buy it at a tax auction, The owner has a certain amount of time to reclaim the property.

I think I’m more focused on long term gain, some short term cash flow is nice but I’m not planning to try and live on it or anything.
