A long time ago, I asked similar questions and a member here pointed me at a software product that we now use religiously.I don't sell it, but do recommend it...  

I don't have the time it takes to mentor right now becasue i am developing software too but i think i can give you some good advice.

Are there any ways that you keep track of properties or softwares that help you do this.

Find someone who can target a topic and write something original.We write our own software and have a very strong tech team, so we come across scams not only on SEO, but on development and site building in general. 

I attended a class in which I was going to invest $25,000.00 (I know very, very, very silly) to learn all about the ins and outs of REI and was given a software by mistake that can generate all Cash Buyers, Pre-foreclosures and Foreclosures in ALL AREAS/STATES!!! 

In the end it was a $1000 sell for the software.

As for carpet, it might be a geographical thing but it is truly heartbreaking to hear a buyer say they're going to have to tear out all your new carpet because they have allergies or it catches the dog fur or something.

I love my day job as a software engineer but want to have multiple revenue streams and rental properties look like a good opportunity for steady cashflow and long term wealth.

We have a need to organize investors for specific deals into one software.

If so, what software do you use?
