@Glenn Lee  welcome to BP.  I am also from Spring, TX.  If you need to build a team and start with a good agent then PM me and I will send you my agent info.  She is in Spring too and has helped us buying 5 houses so far and lease them out.  I totally trust her because she is good at what she is doing and very honest.  She really looks out for your best interest.

@Ronald Rohde  thanks!  I will check out www.adventuresincre.com  too.

@Sean Morrisey PM me your email address and I will forward you the email with the link to register.  I am going to sign up too.

Thanks.

@Account Closed what did you end up doing?  Were you producing the reconciliation yourself or your CPA did it for you?  I am managing my first property too and looking for a template to copy from.  Thanks!

@Ronald Rohde thanks for the answer and explanation.  Appreciate it!

@Theodor Chung I have more questions for you and dropped them in your inbox.  Thanks.

@Mitch Weiss thank you!

@Theodor Chung I sent more questions to your inbox.  Let me know if you see them.  Thanks.

@Mitch Weiss quick question on: 1. Forgive two months of rent and extend their lease another two months on the backend.

So for example in our case it means we are giving 2 months free rent now (let's say June and July since we are now at the end of May), and if our tenant has 22 months left in current lease we modify it to be 24 months (the last 2 months we just added are still at 100% rent as the other 22 months)?

Thanks.
