They will compile all the data and results from all the reports ran, credit score included, and give you an overall suggestion based on their qualifications on whether or not you should rent to them or not.Some landlords or first time users like these features, some don't.

First and foremost, I would suggest speaking with a tax attorney and a good advisor.

I've done basic research (county appraiser website) and comps (as available on Realtor.com 'recently sold' search feature) and would like to contact the owner/broker for additional information on the property.It seems that a lot of people on this site speak directly with owners of properties in their search for deals, but I'm curious if that is just because the properties aren't listed on the MLS or because of the level of knowledge/experience of the people on this site.I have never purchased real estate before so have no personal experience with agents and the benefit of working with one, especially if I have already located the property of interest myself.  

The first 50+ houses I flipped I didn't do anything other than ensure that everything was new, and buyers were fighting over the product.Then, when I moved up to higher-end properties (and no-longer first-time homebuyers), the necessity for more unique features was required. 

Seems like a very viable option.I see "Work Order Mark Up" and "Move-in/Move-out Work" features, but how does the software do with keeping track of normal maintenance?

I assume that first and foremost buyers are looking at the deal.

It does seem to have a lot of good features.

1st and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone on this site for helping me feel confident in my real estate dreams.

Do you mean you sold a house with Seller financing and created a mortgage with a balloon feature, where you now hold the note?  

Those are what matter first and foremost.
