We started a shared bank account and are on our way to setting up Wave as our book keeping software of choice.

I would suggest getting a recommendation for a cleaning person instead of a larger company. 

I think 3-4 days is the max I've had for vacancy that was the by choice so I could address a few things.

On a larger scale say 100 investors a week, with the intention of building a relationship based on the quality of work they have done.

We have been trying to learn everything we can but we certainly don't want to make uneducated and poor investment choices. 

I also always received multiple bids for larger projects. 

We are beginning to see a bit of a slow down with buyers in San Diego, this could be a great time to get back in the market depending on your goals and neighborhood of choice. 

@Javaughn HarknessExcellent choice.

We have 2 loan scenarios: FHA with 3% interest rate and 3.5%($17,000) down BUT we have to claim $150k of income on our tax returns for 2 years and pay IRS 70K (2 years worth) total in taxes because we are self employed. 2nd scenario: private lender offering 4.5% interest rate with 5% ($27,000) down 8 year interest only loan converting to fixed thereafterwhats the wise choice?

Also look at any restrictions on sq foot of buildings to square foot of dirt--meaning the vacant seems buildable dirt might not be as buildable as you think (sometimes upscale areas are larger lots than other areas by zoning law).
