Management & Automation: For those managing remotely, what tools, software, or systems do you rely on?

Quote from @Eduardo Perez-Borroto: Since the HELOC was not used on improving the home you cannot deduct the interest, nor use that to offset your capital gain.Would adding a battery bank system to my solar panels count as home improvement?

For real estate investors and developers exploring Carlsbad, SB-423 offers a streamlined pathway for multi-unit housing projects.

The outer boroughs—Bronx, parts of Queens, maybe Staten Island—are where people tend to have the most success, usually with multi-families.

However, not one general location is going to help you determine whether it's a good market for multi family or single family etc.The one true way to start looking into a market is talking to an agent who knows the area.

There are many choices out there so take some time and check out other systems to see what works for you.

I completely understand all the financial calculations and models in the system and yes, it would have been fairly easy to build one myself, but very time consuming.  

I used to cold call, skip trace, send mailers, and don't get me wrong you will get success from it like James above, however as you gain experience you will realize you need deals faster, easier, cheaper, and with more "meat on the bones" and in order to have that you need constant deals flowing through your eco system and that's hard to do with mailers, cold calls, VA's and skip tracing etc.

I would say that multi-family would be the easiest to wholesale due to how many there are in each metro market and the amount of MF buyers nationwide.
