Thanks for the reply Fred. It's probably an unrealistic goal. We're just
getting started, and will do it one at a time. The only thing we know for
sure is that neither of us wants to go back to 9 to 5.

I'm looking for suggestions for landlord software. Or do you just keep
records in a simple spreadsheet? We'll have probably 15 to 20 single
family houses by the end.

thanks!

I don't use "can" retail programs because its set up one way and I
couldn't change it to do things my way. At first I use a compiler to write
my own simple routines then switched to a database software but I found
the spreadsheet is easier and more flexible. The rental info in my
spreadsheets is linked to my tax return program which is also in
spreadsheet format.

Why so many houses Steve? If you don't use property management those
rentals will drive you nuts not to mention Schedule E, deprecation and the
ever changing tenant/landlord laws. Have you looked into REITs or TICs?
