You should stay on track of educating yourself through books, podcasts, networking with others - offline and online.

I would say begin drowning yourself with knowledge here on BP with webinars, podcast, forums, and even books.

I joined BP after reading @Brandon Turner 's books Investing in Real Estate with No Money Down and Rental Property Investing.

I’ve been reading through the forums on a regular basis, I’ve read “Set for Life” recently, and I worked through creating my own rental calculator like Scott did in the book to try and better understand all of the money related aspects that go into a rental property.

I was able to get some valuable insights from this book I read titled, Never Split The Difference , and essentially it teaches you that you have to look for information (in this case it would be from the tenant) that is causing him to act in a difficult manner.

They are booked nearly solid, except in the winter months. 

Does anyone out there have a really solid book keeping spreadsheet/template they use on their rental properties?

I've also been reading a few business books, and have just recently started collecting real estate specific books to read over. 

It will save your pocket book and stress levels.

I have many questions about this process but want to start with some pretty basic info, I am currently reading the book on rental property investing by Brandon Turner and its opening my eyes to a lot of sides to this process I was unaware of before. 1.
