Recently, there have been a lot of questions about how to find deals. Here is the short version of how I bought two rentals today (the long version in on my blog).

I was being lazy this afternoon and watching TV. T...

I didn't want to sound "anti-software" but a good accounting system isn't going to be $60, over the years I had thousands in operational software and MAS 90, the program of that day, such isn't necessary for a small investor but folks should ask their accountant which system they suggest for them to use.

I was in Henrico over X-Mas.  

@Andrea Mas, are you an agent, too?

@Amit M. as you know I am deep into the buy and hold strategy in the Bay Area. 

I'm not familiar with Excel, I am with MAS 90, but TValue is accurate and it was free last time I saw it. 

MAS 90, it's awsome!

Quote from @Greg M.: As horrible as this is, I'm not worried as a landlord.

Again just trying to get some idea of what goes into being a successful  NPN buyer ( and assuming your buying NPN).thanks. and hope you had a nice X mas day. !!!
