Once you buy a few the deals start coming from all places you wouldn't expect.I met a business owner in town and became friends.

For my long term rentals I am no longer purchasing in New York State and I am going to be searching out of state in a more landlord friendly state such as Ohio or Pennsylvania.

Scranton area seems to be a lot more landlord friendly than New York is, and the numbers seem better as well, Section 8 seems appealing for the guaranteed income but I will definitely take that information under consideration as I’m looking to invest in the area. 

Make small talk, learn about them, show you are truly interested in them as a friend.

Here’s a concise response for the post:As a CPA who’s been doing accounting since 2013, I always recommend QuickBooks Online for real estate investors because I find it to be the most user-friendly.

For rentals, they can work well if the HOA is investor friendly and cash flow numbers make sense.Financing can also vary, so it’s worth checking lender requirements for condos (warrantable v non warrantable) versus SFRs

I have some good friends here that may be able to help as well. 

Not sure the current status, but I would say Plano is not AirBnB friendly. 

I had a broker friend look into the address.

He walked away from his business letting his best friend take it over.
