I am looking for a cost-effective, easy accounting system that is user friendly for landlords or anyone with a very small rental business. 

It needs some renovations but I have a friend in the business who will do the work at very reasonable costs.

How to send money from other country to United States to invest in house flipping?

And might feel better buying somewhere near family or friends which put Phoenix Arizona and Evansville Indiana on my radar of places to try to learn about. 

So going to regroup with my realtor and friend Kurt and give direct market mailing a try.

I have been approached by a couple friends and family members who would like to invest in the business.I currently have two people who would like to invest 100k each in a passive setting in exchange for a dividend or something along those lines.

hey guys so to start off with I'm 22 years old and looking to invest into real estate. me and my two friends(also 22) have created a team and are looking into buying our first multi family property to rent out. to any of you who already own rental properties what would you guys have for advice for someone just starting out. what is something you would've done different when you were just starting out. right now the biggest thing is getting the money for a down payment. anybody have suggestions or tips or any types of loans that don't require such a large down payment. any feedback is much appreciated. 

Try to do it in a city that has a 3rd party relative or a friend that is local of the subject property that will help you out and reduce your travel expenses down.I would normally tell you to be honest with the seller except from when you are Wholesaling and assigning the contract. 

Basically, City Hall in Del City is not very landlord friendly, especially if you are an out of state landlord.With that being said, I have 3 properties in Del City. 

Eventually with enough help from friends and Craigslist help I got it cleaned up.
