I am new to real estate, i have read books but so far no books have been able to explain how i can stay organize. How do you guys know which areas to hit? Which programs should i use to stay organize? for example how can i know which house i drove by and when to visit. Please give me any ideas you have. I will start doing door knocking soon any tips before i start? 

Thank You for reading my post, any advice will work. I am seeking freedom, control, and options. That is why i want to start in Real Estate. I want to be a mentor someday because i know its not easy to start, i am tired of all the scams out there.

I would recommend trying Podio.com for your organizational needs. It's free to join, has a free mobile app, and is pretty simple to use.  (credit goes to @Ibrahim Hughes for introducing me to Podio.) 

Microsoft Excel is another option if you want something more basic.

For door knocking, or any other marketing strategy you decide to use, I recommend you keep in mind that this is largely a numbers game. You'll have to develop a high tolerance for "rejection", but if you stick with it, the deals are out there.

And I would highly recommend you find a local active investor who you can provide value to (for free), in exchange of them helping you learn the ropes.  For starters, you could bring them any leads you find, and they can help you see if they are worth pursuing further. 

Good luck.
