It seems that there is information overload often and so many people offering their own built paid software tools but it is hard to know what is right for someone who wants to learn the details and RE from the ground up. 

Will you do your own lead generation or do you want tools for leads or even a team that divvy's out leads? 

Property managers are essential for that seeing as they will (or should) tell you where they don't want to be doing business.

You essentially create the "needs"(needed for loan approval: ie- roof with 3+ years life, etc) and your "wants"(That Brand new kitchen/bath all renters want).

Essentially we hadn't begun the process of putting together our spreadsheet that runs the numbers, knew what kind of properties we were looking for, or even how to be a proper and ethical landlord.

I would go to events all the time but with the slow down with COVID I want to replace my time with a better lead generation tool.

And you would be spending more in demo and more to essentially build a new house versus updating an older house.All that being said, I am confused about your idea that the foundation is rotted and may need to be demolished.

If you don’t form an LLC how do you write your repairs , purchases of tools , supplies off on taxes ?

Not sure if that makes total sense, but essentially scale out to 10-20 doors via lease/options instead of straight rentals.
