I have found a few videos on YouTube that outline how to use listsource and blockshopper.com as tools to find which areas cash buyers are buying in.

Rentals can be difficult if you are not prepared with the right tools. - Have a list of trusted vendors on hand (HVAC, plumbing, general maintenance etc.)- Know the law, check your rentals' local Landlord Tenant law and familiarize yourself with both your responsibilities and your tenants.- Understand all aspects of an eviction process.

The only downside (or upside I guess to some) with this chat tool is that it ties in directly to my gmail so as soon as I have my email open the chat reflects "live" on my site.

@Jeff Bridges - thanks for the tip on Rentlinx - another tool for the toolbox!

Hi all, I'm curious to learn what personal budgeting tools people are using.  

This place has a lot of tools to help you.

I am a big podcast and audiobook nerd, so I have found listening to Gary Keller's series of real estate books is a great learning tool for me.  

Coaching can be a very valuable tool.

Can anyone recommend providers or tools for comparison (rates, terms, fees, process length)?

The honest answer though, is that it depends on what you can afford and what you intend to use the tool for.
