As for staples I supply the basics like salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cinnamon and sugar.

My first suggestion is to join a local real estate investors association, just google and ad your city, so you can find a mentor or partner who has the same interest that you do.Some basic methods of finding properties are:1) Driving for dollars - Drive your farm area looking for vacant and distressed properties2) Place adds in small newspapers or direct mail newsletters3) Place adds on internet sources like craigslist and backpages or Use homemade bandit signs (batman buys houses etc.)4) Other wholesalers5) expire mls listings or FSBOSSome more advanced methods are:1) Working City Code Violations2) Creating a Birdog network3) Tenant evictions list4) Tax certificate sales pre auction list5) Bankruptcies/divorcesOf course you still have foreclosures and probates, but those are the norm and have heavy competitionGood luck Big E

I have a homemade spreadsheet I use for projecting the return on a property that I could share if you want.

It was converted into a triplex some time in the 1970s with a homemade addition.

Is it home-made or commercially available?

I was die hard with my homemade fancy excel trackers but it got out of hand once I got to two dozen doors.

@Thierry Nakoa​I believe there's a meet up in Glastonbury 7/17 7:30 in Chili's.

In his apartment he provided his home made family brandy which was delicious!
