(They have a free 30 day trial, but if you use 16115 for the referral both of us get a $10 credit.)I use YNAB for my personal budget, but it allows you to create multiple budgets and I use one for real estate as well.As you go through the process of working with clients, think about how you can create a repeatable system to streamline the process (Think Checklists).

You can also use costar, they might even give you a free trial that has all the data  you can handle.

Case's have value  there is a value if it goes to trial and there is settlement value.
