Scott:If you are simply looking to analyse a property, create a budget or model cash-flow, then there are lots of spreadsheet templates available ... or, at least enough bits and pieces to get you started on building your own.If you want to keep the books of your business, then you will be best served to get a basic accounting package (QuickBooks, MoneyWorks, etc) even if you have only one property (at the moment).Ask your accountant if they have a preference as they will be more accustomed to importing data from certain packages into their system.

If you are going to have the coin laundry for future properties also put the camera cost in already to your expense numbers even if the seller doesn't have it.Your model will likely be different from how a current seller runs it.

I think it depends on whether the tenant has taken possession yet. 

I'm working on my business plan for wholesaling; specifically the financial model section.

And I would stick for one business model.

Brian Hoyt, if somebody does not voluntarily surrender possession to you at the end of a lease (regardless of duration), you have to gain possession somehow; legally, the eviction process is intended to accomplish that.

And as one example he shot out (rather sternly), "Most of the properties here in Manning, SC are heir properties and the person in possession of it can not sell you the property!"

When we do the move-out inspection with the tenant we have them sign a "Return of Possession Form" which also has a place to fill in a forwarding address.Retroactively, in your situation, I would do as you did... in addition, I would call the emergency contact person for this tenant and ask them to ask the tenant to contact you asap about the refund on their deposit.  

So my question is for those investing in the Turnkey model (such as myself).

It might even be July 1, depending on your laws regarding notice and the time you take possession of the property.
