I can tell you're excited and passionate about thus- that's good, but considering we're young fellows, we've got a lot in store for us on this journey.

Sadly I have reached the point where I can now ask my 11 year old son for technical advice......That said, you can down load the podcasts for free through the iTunes Store.  

Our primary residence will be rented out furnished, I will sale my work vehicle and store her SUV. 

as far as mac not having certain program you can simply log into the app store that is on your mac book and just search for what you want/need and there will be a app for you. 

If there's a more high-end store like a Whole Foods then even better. 

In some place, you may also need to adhere to specific styles and maintain design elements that are already part of the house.

If the grocery store had to absorb that higher cost of deliveries, they would have gone out of business.

If you plan on implementing a buy-and-hold strategy it gets a little more complicated, as everyone would have to be in agreement as to when the portfolio will be liquidated (and the future market may make this more difficult than you forecast, always be aware that there are many variables in play and you should have MULTIPLE exit strategies) or how the cash flow will be split once you move and can no longer be as active in the property management as your partners.Be sure to discuss what elements will be included in your Operating Agreement, and what business structure you plan on using (partnership, LLC, etc).

I've also been involved in ecommerce and have few online stores.

The property manager wasn't going to do that.I also stick all the need to know info in a binder on top of the fridge.For furnished rentals the consignment store is king!
