Engelo Rumora WTF is wrong with this investor?
26 February 2024 | 32 replies
Happened too many times for first 3-4 years.There is no risk of loosing the "deposit" either and it's just a bit of skin in the game even tho the skin is always yours to keep heheCovered all angles mate and made this as fool proof as possible but still enough to make folks "jump" through hoops to see who is legit and who isn't.As Chris mentioned, 90% of investors we don't end up working with and even when many commit to the deposit, I refund many times as I don't feel a good fit.Even with such stringent criteria, we still get mud thrown on us here on BP as some folks slip through the cracks.I could only imagine if we took on everyone and just focused on pushing sales.I can sell a TV to a blind man and ice to an eskimo.

CRM Software with Customization OptionsCRM (Customer Relationship Management) software like Salesforce or Zoho CRM can be customized to track deal details, including financials, though it's not their primary function.Pros:Highly customizable and can be tailored to fit a wide range of data tracking needs.Good for managing relationships with lenders, partners, and tenants.Cons:Requires setup and possibly custom development, which can be costly.May be more complex than necessary for straightforward property management.Recommendation:The best choice depends on your specific needs:If you're comfortable with spreadsheets and have a relatively small portfolio, starting with Excel or Google Sheets might be the most cost-effective and straightforward approach.If financial management is your primary concern and you're willing to invest some time in setup, QuickBooks is a robust option.For a more comprehensive solution tailored to real estate investments, exploring specialized real estate investment software could provide the most benefits.If your operations involve significant relationship management and you need a highly customizable system, a CRM with customization might be the way to go.Before deciding, consider factors like cost, scalability, and the learning curve of new software.
