I have cleared with the bank ahead of time during a refinance about transferring the property later into an LLC.

For most bookkeeping beginners I would recommend using QuickBooks Online, or QuickBooks desktop version.Before you rush out to purchase the software, allow me to make the following recommendation.

If its in a good area in time it should appreciate more and coupled with your yearly pay down on the mortgage in time you should come out ahead.

I'll probably eventually purchase several properties there, and might as well go ahead and establish a relationship.

So, even though I "failed" in my first partnership and on my first two deals, good things came of it, and I think I am actually further ahead now than I would have been if I had not experienced that failure.On one of the deals we own now, we have had a very rough time.  

Returns are good in DC there are a lot of investors at this time your joining the gold rush not late but well after the start. 

@Shaun Reilly , Aah, but it doesn't matter to the Seller whether there is "dual agency" or not, because as a good agent, you have negotiated one Fee with the Seller ahead of time (so that if you get lucky with finding a Buyer off the street, you do get both 'buy and sell' sides of the commission, but if your Buyer has used a different Agent, you already know that you will have to split the Fee with that Agent)!

I have missed several good potential tenants from being in a rush to rent.  

In Longview hitting rush hour means sitting at 2 extra lights.  

It seems like you're already ahead of the curve, so I'm sure you'll do great!
