I recommend this especially if you are starting out.Quickbooks is a good choice as well.

Instead give the tenant choices.

At renewal, I must make my choice (vacate, lease, or M2M) 60 days before my current lease ends. 

You could delay the closing but maybe not the best choice.

Also if you have the choice to use a conventional mortgage I would still continue using them unless there is an unusual situation with the property and you are unable to obtain one.

Also, Fannie Mae's limit for mortgaged properties is 10 per individual meaning you can have 10 and your wife can have 10. 

I am doing the same thing as you.I have figured out the markets I want to be in and why.You have to not only look at States but individual neighborhoods. 

We willcoordinate as much as possible with the electrician to meet your expectations for a finished project according toyour plans/ scope of work, however ultimately the final responsibility of that individual performance is that of theproperty owner.6.

That is too dependent on the individual to determine.

The Monthly HOA Fee typically eats up much of the Cash Flow making Town Homes / Condos an unprofitable choice for Investment RE.
