Make a list of all the things a Landlord or Property Manager may do, then start knocking them out by looking at the most important first: how to market, how to screen, getting a solid contract.

Little details like that will make a huge impact and since it sounds like some projects can wait, I’d wait until I had a solid direction.

I’m looking for strong recommendations for solid rental property book keeping (e.g. financial statements and the health of a property month-to-month).

I don’t have competitors, I only have future friends that can use good solid people to help them on their own projects.

@Trascia Daniel As long as it’s a solid, well defined agreement it shouldn’t be an issue as long the agreement “makes sense”.  

$200 is roughly where I'm ending up, which seems solid for the time being.

I have no development experience however have a large portfolio of homes in the Charlotte suburbs which are solid performing assets and have done extensive rehab's on many properties from basic new kitchen/ba reno's to full structural/electrical/plumbing renovations. 

NETWORKING...Focus all your attention on these for at least the first year so that you can develop a solid base to build on.

This is a solid question and there are about 435 different ways you could go.
