Hi Kraig, I have a mobile friendly web app that would help you keep track of all of this stuff for you.

Hello,My husband and I are new to the real estate investing club and are looking to learn and connect with knowledgeable and reputable people.  

I am vaguely familiar with independent lending but want someone reputable.

For heavily populated counties (which Orange County, CA definitely qualifies as), these are usually on the Web and free to look at. 

So what are the regular publications that you use, or web sights that you visit? 

All the contractors with good reputations are booked for months.  

Even at 500/unit, I'd still be elated just to keep vacancy as close to nil - and I understand, that may not be the best route either because of the quality of tenant - yet, I've narrowed down a couple of Property Mgmt companies in the area that seem to be reputable, and have been the ones that the real estate agents recommended, too.  

This guy is why realtors get the sterotyped reputation. 

@Fred CanzanoIRA Services Trust Company is very reputable and have been in business since the late 70s.

I am very new to the Bigger Pockets web site and podcast and have really enjoyed it.
