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 have modeled this house hack scenario in an Excel spreadsheet to the best of my ability, simulating the cash flow from the year purchased to year sold, and the average returns look quite a bit higher than 15% which leaves me feeling optimistic but also like I have missed something.In any case, I hope that provides a picture of where I am coming from, and I would greatly appreciate any advice you have.Blessings to you. 

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. 

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. 

They are excellent! 

This is the sort of stuff I excel at :)

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

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