She does not have any experience flipping homes or analyzing deals.

Other than oblivious items like appreciation, medium house price, vacancy rates, expected population growth, etc...What are other things you look for, compare and analyze when looking at new markets and states to invest into??

My experience is that warranties aren't really that good due to the vast amount of exclusions.Additionally, the math may just not add up.

In today's HOT real estate market, it's not smartest guy who gets the deal, it's not the most thorough, nor the most analytical, nor the ones with the most money...it's the one who knows the market intimately - so intimately that he/she knows a QUICK WAY to analyze deals.Case in point: last week of December last year, we found a 279-unit portfolio of apartment buildings from a private owner (off-market deals baby!).

This group is by far the vast majority of managers.The second kind of manager is a professional the creates a true business.

Build a trusted network around you who can act as your sounding board and disregard the vast majority of opinions elsewhere. 

Hi,I would look for an agent that knows how to analyze deals. 

Hi, I am new to REI and I have inquired about and analyzed several deals.

@Dewayne C.Quickbooks desktop version should be able to handle the bookkeeping function that you are looking to have done.If you are looking for a tax-software to self-prepare your return, any software should be able to handle it so long as they provide Schedule E in the package.Alternatively, you may want to work with an accountant to handle the back-end while you work on making more connections and analyzing more deals.
