Our battery went out and our son had to crawl through a basement window but I doubt too many people could have done that, he was impressed by our increased security but didn't want to drive 2 hours back home so he found a way.  

And you have to really know the market and area we did not have the time to drive everything you just had to already have knowledge of the area and what the parcels looked like etc..

I am trying to manage the asset and the property managers.Here is the basic functionality I'm looking for: Property View: Customizable view that allows me to select a given property and view, update, and save information including the obvious facts, plus ownership %'s, reserves to be held each month, property tax/insurance info, purchase and loan info.

Quote from @Sonja Revells: @Chris Seveney primarily Padsplits  I would speak to a few lenders first before going through all these hoops, as I started to do this then when talking to banks they were basically telling me either get a secured mortgage as they will not lend to a real estate company on unsecured credit/debt.

I’m in the process of setting up a google drive for my newly sprouted real estate business.

So for 10k its 33 and if your self managing basically C class rentals thats a full time job maybe not full time but its anything but passive.

Basically you are buying in to that person's relationships. 

There is a cinder block structure on it now that is basically a 1BR, 1BA shell with plumbing fixtures, but no kitchen.

Typically they already have a blueprint that they can readily see from their parents examples, but the motivation and drive is not there.

I can see sharp investors talking to these folks and just basically talking the seller into cancelling and coming with them as they will pay more..
