Ask for advice before going into these "investment" tools; not after.I will always recommend that YOU should own your real estate, and not get involved with these crummy and questionable deals.If one cannot afford to buy their own real estate, purchase the Vanguard REIT and save until you have the down payment for a house hack or investment property. 

The city's growing number of people and its economy might also help raise home values and the cost to rent.Start by looking at your equity, research the rental market in Lubbock, check out properties with tools like BiggerPockets rent calculator, talk to local pros, look into money options, and choose if you want to run the place yourself or get a company to do it.

I have other tools and calculators I like to use to analyze deals so I haven’t gotten tied up trying to do complex things like that with it.

Credit and assets is the main characters and tools when it comes to lending or real estate financing.

Tools like Rentometer and Zillow can help.

If not, they are plenty of free ones out there that can.As far as tools recommendations, I agree with Jonathan, HubSpot is a great free CRM that allows you to make custom tags/lists and can have contact forms embedded in webpages, popups, sidebars, or stand alone form links to easily share in email newsletters/online forums. 

I also believe that we can utilize technological tools such as data analytics platforms and market research databases to track key metrics, market supply and demand, rental rates, and occupancy trends.

Most sellers/homeowners only know 1 way to buy & sell, you the investor should have multiple acquisition tools in your tool belt that fit your investment style.

Just trying to get started and feel, with the tools available, I may have found a good deal in my area.  

It's a great tool but expensive depending on budget.
