Determining this might be common sense, but I'm hoping some of the professionals could weigh in.

I wanted to use this forum to take the opportunity to find out from professionals how they keep track of Budgeting their money. 

For the locals in the area that might be able to help pinpoint areas of focus here --- think if you were an established hard working professional (not CEO or independently wealthy)  working at for example -- Redstone Arsenal, NASA, Military, one of the Universities or major Hospitals, the airport, a local lawyer, dentist, fireman, police, teacher, business manager, small business owner, corporate executive, etc, etc..  

Yours seems to be unique and definitely needs professional help.

You sound like a professional investor.

A specialist in medical residency training that rarely home or professional that needs a weeknight apartment but goes home on the weekends.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Check with a competent professional.

I would look and talk as professional as you can. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
