Contracts to buy real estate that are short and simple are preferred.

As I mentioned he was an individual managing the properties and so there was no owner portal, etc. 

I had an Excel sheet where I kept track of every individual expense/rent payment for my first rental, but I just bought 2 more units and now I've been working on building a more robust version of the sheet that can handle multiple properties.

Hi @Logan JornsIt depends alot on your personal preferences and those of the people you live with.

Looking for all types of investors, agents, and like minded individuals who are interested.

In my personal experience (might have just been the individual and not representative of the company), they did not get up on the roof, they did not get into the crawl space, and they missed a handful of minor but worthy issues I would have noted inside the house.

Any particular online website or hardware store you prefer?

At a purchase price of $150,000 and gross rent of $1,600 I think the property would work for most at a 30 year loan so I think it comes down to preference and comfort.

My preference is to renew as per contract or that they would reveal the minimum commitment they are able to make, and we’ll write up a short term lease at a higher price - flexibility and stressing out the landlord should come at a cost.

Only one primary residence per individual or married couple qualifies for the Louisiana Homestead Exemption.
