I have never listened to a pod cast as I get board with them.there was a long thread on those that did listen to it and went out to try to buy properties from this persons company only to find out.. it was not what they thought. and in deeper discovery on those threads this guy has no real experience at this.. and is just a hyperbole internet type dude.I am sure his hey we all want to quit our day jobs and have passive income message is well received by you folks out there in BP land.. but you can't get there with the stuff he sells..

Hi, do you know a great software, friendly user, easy and ACCURATE for real estate investing.I don't know if you are like me, but Quickbooks is a real nightmare... 

Here's why - any property that you are looking to buy has a mailbox, but not necessarily a computer, internet or FB.  

Warmer tones are appropriate for the kitchen.Here's an example I pulled off the internet.

You can also google search calculators and find some decent ones if you run out of uses for the BP calcs as a free BP membership user!

Since it is a thread about those two, hey why not post their other properties if it's on the internet lol. 

General RE: know all of the terms, how real estate cycles work, financials (this is a MUST), what your end user wants [whether that's a homeowner, a tenant, a rehabber, etc.], Local RE: You need to know your local real estate market and you can learn that by reading the local newspapers (both general and business) and one of the best ways to learn what I found to learn what's going on locally is by following newspapers, journalists and towns on Twitter, also head to your local town hall and speak to the P&Z dept., EcoDev and other dept's to see what's going on in the town's you want to invest.
