I have had success with exporting all my leads into an excel spreadsheet, from there you can put notes and tags etc.As far as deciphering these leads and turning them into deals, you need to put yourself in front of the most sellers in a fast matter.

I understand how these systems work that is not the problem.I had spent considerable time swimming through the county website trying to decipher an answer, I thought it might be faster/easier to just ask people who have done it before.

This in turn will help you decipher where you can actually afford to live or what your time line to purchase.

I am still relatively new so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me decipher this terminology. lol

As basic as those are, I'm not 100% certain I know how to decode that info from my K-1.My K-1 the year of the sale has the following (fictitious-but-plausible) values:Line 2 (Net Rental Loss): -$3,000Line 9a (Net LTGC): $40,000Line 10 (Net Sec 1231 Gain): $6,000Line 19-A (Distributions): $75,000Section L:Beginning capital account: $41,500Current year net income: $43,000Withdrawals & distributions: $75,000Ending capital account: $9,500In this example, my "Adjusted Basis" was the same as my "Beginning capital account" ($41,500) at the beginning of the year, as far as I know from from this, but can I decipher the Adjusted Basis at the time of the sale?

We felt more at home when driving through the northern part of NC and are currently trying to decipher its market state. 

I’m trying to decipher whether I should sell my only house after 1 horrible year financially for me.

I'd echo what Robert said...once you've got the goal in mind it'll be easier to decipher your approach for getting to that goal.

@Bryce John, there's no set-in-stone method for jumping into real estate investing and everyone has a different position/situation, but here's my practical advice/steps: obtain W2 employment (lenders like to see this), save religiously, cut unnecessary expenses, build your credit, educate yourself on the strategy of house hacking (there's thousands of forum posts and multiple books on this topic), acquire your first house hack deal and decipher if you like being a landlord or not.
