OK seems to be a landlord friendly state as TX based on my online research.

However, I see an uptick of numbers over past 2 years (assuming online census data is accurate).Is it a good idea to buy commercial space such as storage facility in Decatur?

I looked online and they said those deposits are typically 1%-3%.

In terms of repairs & maintenance, do you typically work with the PM in finding vendors or do you just see the vendors proposed by the PM and do a little due diligence online to see which one seems most appropriate?

From what I've read online fiberglass seems to last longer, cheaper, and be more low maintenance, but most of this information came from fiberglass companies, so not sure if its true/bias.

Are you also reaching out to buyers by different means such as posting on online sites such as CraigsList or FB Marketplace in those markets?

I think I am going to go with Tenant Cloud for my software they seem to provide a nice streamlined service and I like that it keeps everything in one place it's all online and I can screen, accept applications, and list my property right from there.

@Samantha GoochBelow are some of the main differences between a CPA and EACPA1) Require completion of a college degree with certain classes in accounting, tax, audit, etc2) Require passing 4 exams on Audit, Tax, Law, Business3) Required continued education4) Can practice in Tax, Assurance or Advisory5) Eligible to represent you infront of the IRSEA1) passing 3 exams dedicated to tax2) Required continue education3) practice in Tax4) Eligible to represent you infront of the IRSThe CPA designation is more prestigious because it is much more difficult to obtain.The Tax portion of the CPA exam is more difficult than the 3 EA exams.The other item is that a college degree is not required(Just that you are atleast 18 years of age).With that said, you can have good CPA or bad CPA's.You can have good EA's and bad EA's.Also, please be careful on this webforum, there are many 'tax professionals' that are neither a CPA or an EA.Best of luck
