Restarting in r.e. investing in TX
There are so many tools available, including the great calculators on BP, and technology has advanced greatly since the last time I got tried to get into real estate investing; a lot was done manually. Does anyone have experience, suggestions or recommendations on using a CRM or some sort of automated marketing process? Plus, TX seems to have some special rules around lease options; does anyone have experience in that area specific to TX?

Hi @Alysia Korelc I'm the TX lease option guy if you have specific questions. I have a broker down in Travis county that is just getting started with LO's down there and he's going to do great! As far as a CRM, if you are just restarting, in my opinion a CRM is not the thing to focus on, as it can be a distraction more than anything else until you have enough leads actually coming in, in my opinion.
