I’d recommend using Excel or a tool like Trello or Notion to track what you need, compare deals, and stay on budget.

My goal is to build the capital needed to start investing in Real Estate, and I felt this was the best way to get there.I spent 6 years as a project superintendent with a commercial builder, followed by 2 years as a construction manager in the track home industry.

Neal Bawa sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but his track record is terrible.

Can someone help me to get in track on this?

There sure are fast track approaches to this but really depends on strategy. 

You're definitely on the right track! 

You will also be less likely to miss opportunities for tax deductions, etc, because you’ve been tracking all along rather than pulling everything together at the end of the year.

It may feel like a kick in the head, but you're on the right track.

Reality is owners do NOT value/track their own time, but handymen and contractors start charging the moment they leave their home or office.

I'll likely be higher priced on an owner-occupied restaurant franchise, but you've been around the block and have a significant track record.
