Look into @David Greene story, instead of looking into no money down solutions when he got started he did it the most common way Successful investors start out!!!

One reason I might imagine is your broker won''t let you do this, another is that you aren't aware of the subject to deal solution.  

That would probably be the easiest solution. 

My low-tech solution has been Excel, and I typically wait until tax time to compile complete financial statements.

RentalHero, Cozy and TenantCloud seem to be the top three rental property management cloud based solutions for beginner to moderate level of landlording expertise.

Great way to find a creative solution to a problem you have.

Would love to learn about any additional needs; definitely helps to keep landlord solution providers on their toes!

There are usually some good, local investors that monitor those forums.

There are some quick fixes (and forgive me for this probably not being the most environmentally friendly solution but...); if you put some Spectracide down (both around the perimeter of the house and by the window panes) that should do the trick.

Unless it's a small job with an obvious solution, get an engineer ($250) to look at it and sketch up a scope of work for a contractor to do.12.
