Most of the time it is not that difficult.My thought though is if you want to do this, you want to have your attorney check your lease.There are also likely some laws about what you need to do with the property...like store it in a safe and secure place, provide instructions on how to get it back, how fast you need to return it, etc.One problem I see with this, is a lot of the stuff that used to be valuable is now not all that valuable. 

@Jennifer Nowak, I recommend QuickBooks Online (at least Plus) because: 1) QBO can be set up/manipulated to track flips and rentals separately as well as each property and entity individually all under one subscription (Location = Entity; Class = Property; etc).2) QBO has a better bank feed system than other software due to their secure relationship with a ton of banks.

Once you ensure you can secure a property via a hard money lender (you will most likely have to bring 10-20% of the cost + rehab), you can start your deal hunt.
