Hi BiggerPockets - been waiting for an opportunity to get involved with your forum for a long time, and I finally have a question I think worth discussion.I operate significant house flipping operations in Austin, Dallas, and Upstate New York and we're involved in 50+ house flips and remodels a year, and have been doing this for about 14 years now.Now that I have three separate teams (manager, GC, multiple subs, Realtor) in each market, I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep tabs on timelines, project progress, budgets, etc.I'm curious what technology and software you higher volume folks use to keep track of everything.

I say technology has given the smaller investors like myself a lot of tools. 

(http://www.distressedrealtyfund.net)Blueprint - These are young guys that operate in 3 states (SC, GA, TN) - they focus on technology to help them do due diligence quickly. 

In this day with all of the technology out there you can get up to the minute listings.

(office fee, technology fee,realot.com access for listing, etc)They have a great training program so I  would have to take that into consideration but I have really been thinking about  checking out some other brokers in the area before I made my final decision.

He is a simple man - he doesn't use technology (email, wiring money, he hardly texts).

We are not allowed to hold and manage our own deposits from our rentals as agents, unless consented buyout broker.Different brokers offer different levels of support, technology, training, fees, structure and leniency.Here are some questions for you to answer so that you can narrow down the best route for you currently.

I'm more of a research/numbers kinda gal and I can appreciate how technology has re-landscaped how investing is done today.My goal is to use REI as a vehicle to allow me to travel (and relax) more. 

For those of you who use or have used VA's for this purpose; what technologies are they using to make these outbound calls?  

In my business (technology) we are often passing clients with smaller budgets down to smaller fish: freelancers, college students even.By doing this, over the longterm, you are building out the same investor network that could help you start your own REIT.
