@Josh Ball If you're using your own money, Buildium or AppFolio should suffice. 

What surprised me wasn’t the rankings themselves, but how often the exercise surfaced where my gut feeling disagreed with the data — and forced me to explain why.At least for me, that’s been more valuable than chasing a single “top market” list.I’m curious how others here think about this:Do you start with a preferred strategy and narrow markets from there?

• Is it non-refundable consideration for the option itself,• credited/deducted from the future purchase price if the tenant exercises,• or refundable under certain conditions?

Using the advice from Brandon Turner's book, I've been trying to evaluate a deal a day to exercise the muscle.Considering housing prices in my area are quite high, I may try to relocate back to Minnesota in the next year or two, and I would like to save $10k-$15k more to invest in my first deal (currently have about $25k saved to invest in the future), I feel like I'm in limbo with my REI journey.For those of you who are further along in your investment journey, where would you go from here?

Fortunately I have never had to exercise plan b.
