I also manage some of my own capital - I used to have a newsletter, so I like to look at charts, but I don't spend all day every day anymore so would rather allocate the majority of my capital to people who do.

> Airdna had one I believe they retired (not Market Minder ... forgot the name - plotted a bunch of triangles in a matrix)> Mashvisor currently offers a heatmap feature for "Airbnb COC return" - cumbersome, but you can manually scroll across the US and look for green areas while pulling your hair out every time their interface freezes> I'm actually beta testing a new platform a company called STR Insights is launching that displays the same data in table form with a map feature as a bonus to double click into individual markets and see where high performing listings are locatedAll 3 are essentially doing the same thing: comparing average STR revenues (scraped from Airbnb/VRBO) to average home prices (scraped from Zillow, etc.) and converting them into a ratio.

You mentioned future appreciation and although the Midwest isn't know for high appreciation, Indianapolis has been the exception to that rule for several rules as this 5 year chart shows.

Get in there and fix some frozen pipes, start with a hair dryer and graduate to a space heater, or (like I did) take your wife's favorite 'fancy' electric fireplace and drag it into the crawl space dirt to thaw the main floor P trap under their tub because you have no options and nothing is draining4.

I have felt that too many new investors were coming into the market based upon the recent trend of appreciation and rent charts only showing a trend of going up.

I ask because I keep a comparison chart of real estate crowdfunding investments, and I’m constantly on the lookout for new and innovative platforms that I haven’t investigated yet.

There are many analysis, charts out there.

I would bet that the rate chart for Lubbock is much more stable than Midland is. 

He may be able to troubleshoot you some things for you as possibly setting up the chart of accounts and maybe doing the first couple months of book for you to use as a template.Alternatively, you may be able to outsource the bookkeeping function to them.If you want to learn bookkeeping/quickbooks, there are normally programs in large cities that teach the software.

Hopefully the software would allow to connect and reconcile among different properties and investors, as well as allow for chart of accounts creation, asset allocation, 1099, link to bank accounts, and hopefully link to a receipt app that allows to import automatically images taken with my phone of those receipts.Separate best app suggestions for receipt as well as mileage tracking that work well together and work well when being integrated with the bookkeeping/ accounting software are appreciated as well.Any suggestions?
