I know that co-star offers this, but I don't have that budget, I am okay with spending 100-200 a month for software to practice with and learn.

Good afternoon allJust for general discussion.....and I know there is a lot of information not given....I was discussing with several colleagues at a recent investor meet up, on their thoughts on best practice/method to acquire another property management company in our geographic location.We were approached by another management company who's owner wanted to retire and presented us with an offer.Original discussions with the other management company(seller) had them wanting a one time payout, say $100,000.

And the fact that I've known this wholesaler for quite sometime outside of the business aspect still has me believe there were no fraudulent or misleading practices done here.

I like the City of Colusa a lot its a tidy little town  very much under the radar ( for CA standards)  I thought you might have been over in Olivehurst or one of those rougher little towns. 

Over the past year, I fully renovated a house owned by a family member, which has given me some hands-on experience.Currently, I am exploring properties that I could potentially fix up and have been practicing underwriting for these prospective investments.
