Hello Christopher,I've looked at Propstream but never have used it, so my take is biased, but for me Xleads is an excellent deal for what you get, and it runs on Go High Level, which has some very good integrations and automations.

I would call that an excellent investment.If you are borrowing, you should be hoping that expenses are paid for by revenues in the early going.

I’d focus heavily on:Building relationships with private lenders and partners.Becoming excellent at finding deals and analyzing numbers.Capital always shows up for people who consistently bring strong deals to the table.

You will likely need your own system to capture the rental information along with costs that you pay for separately(Utilities, bank fees, interest, taxes, insurance, etc)If you have one property, I would prolly just use excel, especially if you have a PM company managing the property.

.: @Derik S.in my opinion - no, brand new investors should not partner.if you need more money, save up more money.hope this helpsIt's an excellent idea, but like Nicholas said, not in the beginning. 

They are excellent! 

I plan to use excel for the time being, but I have also heard good things about the Stessa software for expense tracking.

The near future will make it more difficult but it will get better and better every year and all of the sudden you'll be in excellent shape. 

I had 20 rental buildings at one time and I managed by using excel.

This is the sort of stuff I excel at :)
