Mostly to surface any title issues early so you can get them sorted before you are ready to sell the property.

In other words, I'm doing it the "old fashioned way."

Just offering an opposing viewpoint.My husband and I are both Realtors and a team.We both "share" the non-gendered identity of Malok for internet purposes.I do agree though, that if someone wanted to actually conduct a transaction with another person in this forum, they would provide their relevant information in some form or fashion.

If its not a seller's market, and there is a lot of inventory - you need the exposure that a COMPETENT Realtor can provide in marketing your home.Find someone that has a track record of moving homes in your area in a timely fashion.

If I was presenting to a bank or investor it would be mostly to show how the information can be shared over the web or in a regular report.The idea here it to combine the above in some fashion to present a more complete picture to an investor from out of the area or a banker so the loan package makes sense.

Two people can say the same thing, but one can say it in a "we're all screwed" sort of way, which you did, or a "well...yes there are problems and we must prepare, so do THIS" fashion as I did.

hello;the deal from the surface looks good if you are looking at it from an equity standpoint. the key here is to know ALL costs before you sign away. with missing numbers from your plumber/Eletrician, you cannot make an informed decision. i suggest you get that asap to input all the known numbers and then make a decision. you don't want to find out later that the costs are high and that you end up buying a break even deal. because the positive cash flow on this unit is very low already, you don't want the equity to drop with costs you don't know about yet per the work that needs to be done to bring it up to par for rental.Sincerely,-vinh

I currently use ledger books and good old fashioned paper to keep records.Any suggestions on a great software that I could use to manage these properties on my own?

But I'm sure if they could figure out a way to word the initiative in such a fashion that the general public would think it's a good thing, they would do it.I glad we have access to such a valueable source of information and exchange of ideas for FREE lolhttp://ezinearticles.com/?
