I did a search for the area but the web sites that come up for gov-level information weren’t showing anything that I could actually get information.

Also the web is incredible as many books ( IN LIBRARIES ) are available FREE online...

I remember as a kid looking at those beautiful house plans in the Southern Living Magazines for both architecture and design.

Is there a consensus in the community as to what is the best software (web-based) for running the finances of your day to day flip operations? 

They've researched it and discovered this new service that helps people qualify for rentals even though they have bad credit, broken leases, history of late payments, or other negative issues on their record.From what I can see, the applicant submits their information to the web site and pays a hefty fee.

Here are a couple of web sites, I have not read a book on self storage but I am sure there out there.Insideselfstorage.com (I go to this one a lot)Betcoinc.com (this place makes the buildings but has lots of information about self storage on there website)

@Johan Yang you can do it on the full site web version on your computer.

Look at Joanna Gaines' house flips for ideas or open up a Pottery Barn or one of those cottage/thrifty magazines.

i would connect with an agent that understands what your needs are and can verify past deals that they have done such as yours.ultimately if your plan is to do more deals past these initial ones i would begin to implement marketing strategies that connect you directly to owners.and if you have money you can put towards marketing i would put into web based generated motivated seller leads...

Aside from that, I can find nothing on the State Attorney General's web site about taking deposits for work or prepayment.
