I am interested to here from short term lenders - bridge loans etc about what software or processes you currently use to manage your loan book. 

Again, I am trying to practice and run some numbers on potential investments and would like help since I am just starting to learn the games of real estate and underwriting deals.

You may pay a bit more and make a little less, but playing the long term game is key in real estate.The types of structures could be lump sum (one price) or cost plus (meaning you pay the cost of material and labor plus a flat fee—more of an open-book model).I see some investors who want to pay for ALL the materials, which is excellent for the investor (more control of finishes & cost) and general contractor (if they are getting paid well).  

- @Max Ferguson Definitely eager to start with something relatively simple to get some skin in the game and learn firsthand.

The one hosted by Brandon Rush is one of them.I am always game to help individuals and do so without costs.

I've not been able to in years, we just line up buyers and go the full length with them on the contract rather than play games. 

So I’m playing the game of trying to figure out which one is gonna be the best bang for my buck as far as rentability goes.

Is there a program or software that allows you to easily observe all the properties in your portfolio, as well as their details?

My goal is to purchase a small multi-family property with an FHA loan that I can self-manage while retaining my day job as a software engineer.I have been causally reading books, listening to podcasts, and self-educating on personal finance and different asset classes for the last 2 years before finally deciding on real estate; but I still feel like I do not know enough to go at it alone.

You are right to be nervous about them delisting the owner's other properties, because they don't like owners who play games to get around their rules.
