I would like to start keeping books on my properties vs having their financial information buried in my personal finances.My questions for the community:1) If my goal is to eventually seek financing from others and therefore I will need P&L Statements and other reports on my properties, what software should I use - Quickbooks, Buildium, etc?

Well the software is old, the Macbook Pro is 2015, so getting a new one won't be an option. 

Its a complicated formula so you have to use the government calculator or have a mlo/rmlo put it in their software.

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... 

I would keep a close eye on the immigration policies which would influence prices much more than the 15% tax.

I can't recommend a book but I just paid 37 dollars for this guy Zack Childresssystem on wholesaling his info was very informative and it comes with the contractsyou need to lock deals in and software to generate relationships with other wholesalers I would highly recommend you get the system its worth every penny.   

I am a software engineer in the SF Bay Area. 

Make friends increase your circle of influence - Hire a private detective - they are good at finding people (give his a piece of the profits)Check the death notices or search government record for certificates of death, check the obituary for next of kin - contact them. 

Also a single software license and team for management could be used. 

Umm... this is basically the software that Realtors use - I use a CTMe product.
