I like Cozy's interface, but the long payment times is troubling. 

This doesn't encompass rehabs or big repairs, but for general (easy) number running-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/1...For rehabs and estimates and stuff, you'd just throw those into the equations.Definitely only use the 50% rule for quick property browsing and nothing more.

I've had Intuit recommended but it seems like you need Quickbooks as the interface.

Since I haven't had to deal with a meth lab house (amazingly, because I've had hundreds of chances to have been stuck with one) I would engage with a skilled vendor and interface with the city to make sure the steps to remediation are well understood and the costs quantified before proceeding.

If you haven't done so yet, you can browse the Podcasts and find those that deal with financing, etc.

Patrick,I'm just starting myself, but here is how I have managed to find a couple contacts.I was browsing through craiglist and found a home that I could tell had been fixed up for investment purposes and was being sold.

Because of this, I've been caught reading REI books, browsing the internet for great deals, or even making deals during some of our "off" time so, in essence, I've told my boss.

As Ryan mentioned, I am not really saving much but I like the interface much better.  

I will say that Zillow does have a nice function where you can see recently sold comps in the neighborhood by browsing the map.  

It's good at tracking progress and the interface is easy to use.
