Real Estate can be an exciting venture and you will find it can be quite addicting after you've made your first purchase.

As for my territory, I will be managing properties all the way from downtown to O'Hare so I am excited at the potential to assist investors, owners, and tenants alike across a diverse region.Your story @Jonathan Klemm is my exact path as well in leaving my tech W2 position to pursue this current venture.

I use:• DealCheck for underwriting• QBO for all accounting + amortization schedules• A simple class and tag system for rehab tracking• A separate depreciation file for my CPAIf you’ve dialed in a process that works well for flips, I’m always open to comparing systems — it’s rare to find investors who take the backend as seriously as the front-end deal finding.Appreciate you sharing your workflow.

I would look at this venture as a house, and as the saying goes (not the exact quote); you can't build a great building with a weak foundation. 

We started in our market here in New Hampshire and then ventured out to all of New England, Florida, and North Carolina.I do recommend starting in person if you can.

That said, it can also be a nice complementary venture for your investors if structured thoughtfully.

Did you use creative financing (e.g. seller financing, rent-to-own, HELOC, take over sellers mortgage (subj-to-deals), joint ventures (with a partner) methods?
