My plan is to self-manage the property and rent it out by the room, and I believe your expertise could provide invaluable insights to help me navigate this venture successfully.Specifically, I'm seeking advice on the following areas:Property Management Software: I'd appreciate recommendations for property management software that would streamline my operations and help me stay organized.Bookkeeping: Could you provide guidance on best practices for bookkeeping in rental property management?

Readers should seek professional advice.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I have worked with a number of great CPAs over the years and would be more than happy to provide you with recommendations if you'd like?

Hey jeremy, sometimes the best options may not be local I recommend asking some qualified investment focused brokers
