I'm not really sure how one would build software to automate much of the diligence process.  

The experiment is to see 1) if I want to shift my focus and do this full time. 2) Does it have value for people, can I create software that myself and others can to help this process 3) should build a company around it 4) I want to work with other big picture, like-minded people!!!!

Does anyone use or have a recommended skip tracing software to find out where owners of vacant properties are residing?

Hello,I am looking into forming a real estate syndicaton and just had a few questions:1) Is there good software package someone can recommend, not only for property / investement analysis but for investor return calculation and investor accounting (for Mac) something for excel maybe ?

Online tax software can help with simpler things like this.

I am a software systems engineer by profession, so writing my own calculator seems like the obvious thing to do :)  (Of course, seeing how others have done it can help me keep from making mistakes and it is free, so I did use it to double check!)

If you're in the market for accounting software as well, Buildium is what I use and I've been happy with their system and rent collection.

The terms of use of CARs software provider also prohibit providing blank or partially blank forms. 

Also, I don't think it's going to be too long before the software that handles the backend for these sites is commoditized, and will be available at almost 0 cost to anyone or any site that wants it.

I am a software programmer so I could develop a nice little system that could be used to gather this type of data.
