I used Buildium software, which has a listing feature, and that lists the units on Zillow, Apartment List, and Rental Path, and then from there other services pick up the ads and repost them.

-I am in the process of acquiring a high-quality software that allows virtual staging from real photographs of a room/property.

I don't think that spell check has been removed - there are a couple of great ways to use software to make yourself appear smarter than you are.My favorite is Grammarly - it checks your spelling and capitalization/punctuation.

We have a software program at work that tracks this, and I can tell you it is HIGHLY localized (as in down to the block), even within a given MSA (market).  

I'm planning to keep going from there, I have a background in software development so I feel I am strong in analysis and so far I am enjoying the experience of researching investment properties, etc.

Based on the numbers you provided and running the deal through my software analyzer, the NOI comes to $14,400 (50/50 rule) and the debt service comes to $15,322.16, so you have a LOSS of $922.26 each year.

I'm a 25 year old software engineer and new real estate investor who's already taken the plunge and done their first deal: I recently closed on my first flip with my partner where we renovated and sold a 2-family in Brooklyn.  

please don't use service monkey. the use Java script and other types of tracking software.

Does anyone use any software for managing data and teams?

You could also ask the bookkeeper which CPA does he/she collaborate with and then verify the competence level with with the CPA.If you are concerned about the safety of your financial documents, most cloud based accountants use software (Quickbooks, file sharing services, etc) with bank-level encryption.
