@Scott Parker   well you can do it the old fashion way.. my e mail is in my tag line at the bottom of the posts.. send me an e mail if you like..

@Greg Neuman - thanks for the tag. 

Was your investor someone on these forums we can tag to hear about the investment from their perspective?

@Faiyaz Hashmi thanks for your tag and I just DMed you a list of Chicago and suburb real estate investing groups.  

I realize this post is 2 years old but someone may have the same question.I use Microsoft One Note for Desktops, it's free and stores your notes in notebooks with tags that are easily searchable for reference later.I have notebooks for Note Investing, Real Estate Investing, Information Technology, and Digital Marketing.Usually, something that I'm studying falls into one of those categories and each notebook has subcategories. 

My biggest advise is to not fall for lower price tag deals. 

Meant to tag @Andrew Postell above.

I'm hearing red tags are ugly here for contractors. 

@Edward DePalma (sorry, forgot to tag you in my post)

I am open to local, admittedly intimidated by the price tags, and also open to markets outside SB or even CA.
