In Alabama, pair online with on-the-ground: pull niche lists from your county data (pre‑foreclosures, code violations, probate, tired landlords), then work them with a simple weekly rhythm: call, text, mail, and drive for dollars to verify distress.

We had reached a point in our portfolio size where spreadsheet tracking and then filing taxes became too heavy of a lift for everyone and the cost of doing our tax return was getting hefty as well.That said, has anyone had any success figuring out how to link property loans from bank online portal successfully into your Quickbooks?

From there, take that data and build out a marketing strategy, whether it be social media, advertising online, billboards, tv, radio, direct mail, email, etc....

I would second the recommendation for quickbooks online.

Go online and see what "competition" properties are renting for, how they're decorated, etc.
