I'm using Quickbooks to track overall finances.

Nothing on vacancy rates though.When I was trying to determine demand for Cincinnati, I selected about 20 listings near the location I was focused on, and tracked them for several months.

We provide all the address for every property we talk about and I have the track record to prove it.

These lists include details like the type of permit, property address, project scope, and sometimes the owner or contractor's contact information.How Real Estate Investors Can Use Building Permit Lists:Identify Potential Sellers:Investors can track permits for major renovations or additions.

Use project management software to track progress and ensure efficiency.DIY Where Possible: For smaller or less specialized tasks, consider doing the work yourself if you have the skills.
