I look forward to sharing ideas and learning from all the experiences discussed on this platform. 

Duplexes are very popular out here so I am thinking that will be the best beginner step. 

End of day Wednesday the property had over 1000 views on Zillow and 50 favorites (popular for this area).    

I am talking about the equity above the debt if debt is even used.If you have done so, what have you learned about the platform or platforms you used.

The most popular markets are ClevelandToledoMemphisBirminghamKCIndyDetroitEach of these markets is popular with turnkey investors because of the low barrier to entry, high rental demand & high rent to price ratio.

Is there a good platform or party to use to conduct the transaction?

Amy,Do you or someone you know have any feedback from what it is like to raise equity on a platform?

There are several markets around the south and midwest that are popular for turnkey investments, and BP is the place to find them.Good luck!

Does it have the most popular floor plan (like 3/2), if not can you add a bathroom without more slab? 

I know of several other businesses doing both flips and rentals under the same company, but my main question... what is the best method for managing this in quickbooks (or possibly another platform)?
