While they don't have everything perfected quite yet I do feel that this tool is going to be very helpful in the future.

You also must consider your understanding of the intricacies of managing a property yourself and whether you have the skills to manage a manager.Do you know anything about property maintenance, are you at all experienced or handy with tools. do you understand the functions of the different buildings trades, do you know the costs associated with the trades.If you have not been hands on involved in managing your own property it is extremely difficult to manage a property manager.

I am starting out as a real estate investor as well and would like to run some things by you now you have your "realtor tools".  

Take your time and research your area of interest - use the tools tab at the top of the screen.

Recently, I’ve started to view my 15-mile training runs through nearby neighborhoods as a sort of prospecting method —a foot tour of sorts— helping me determine neighborhoods I might be interested in investing in.My goal with Bigger Pockets is simple — I hope to learn from other investors within the community, leverage the tools and resources to improve my ability analyze potential deals (to help my 40-something-year-old-self gain the confidence to do what my 20 something-year-old-self knew was possible long ago) and contribute to the community where I can with the experience I have.  

It really showed me the power of planning and the benefits of having the right tools. 

(Reverse engineering) Do you have any advice or tools on how to build my list?
