Video games and movies and tv are fun, but ultimately they do nothing for your future. 

Andrew Johnson “I use Appfolio out of santa barbara, ca its definitely not free and my property mgmt company passes those costs down to me which I think is around 50-60 bucks a month based on number of units under the service.I am able to see all reports from rent rolls, cash flow statements / trailing 12 month cash flow, tenant ledgers, maintenance requests, dialog between tenants and mgmt staff, resolutions to maintenance requests, move in pictures, move out pictures, or video, and many more features.What I like is that it allows the vendors to be in a dialog/text/chat box so they are prepared (vendor) prior to job assignment with lockbox codes, scope of work and pictures before they even go to the site so we dont waste time figuring things out and run up a huge $$$ bill for lack of efficiency.”

In the mean time Im building my savings and educating myself.Besides books, podcasts, and videos how can i learn more about being profitable in real estate?

so you have a sharp rancid stench piercing thru the house. you wrote "a skunk likely" meaning you aren't sure. still, someone has to check it out, either you(free of charge) or rodent control (not free of charge). afterwards you might want to find out how it got in and seal it somehow so you won't be going thru this a few weeks later. rodent control (if you go that route )will have advice on how to get rid of the odor. otherwise  I'm sure that there's at least few youtube videos on DIY for it. though it might take a few days to completely be gone, best of luck.kudos,Mary

(I recently recorded a video about this on the Full Service Property Management youtube channel.).

I found Podio to be a challenge to set up but there are great YouTube videos to teach you how to use it for wholesaling.

We created a cloud folder with pictures and receipts as well as a short video inventory of our units so we had proof for insurance. 

I prep the lease in adobe and then I take a video explaining the lease to my tenants. 

So I have been listening too podcasts, reading books and watching YouTube videos on Real Estate Investing for around 2 months now.

Even though I haven't been actively investing I am constantly looking for ways to educate myself in this business such as reading books and blog posts, listening to podcasts, watching videos, and attending a few local meet ups.During my research and preparation, I have found a niche that I would like to really focus on.Today I visited my county courthouse and interacted with the Register of Wills Clerk who was kind enough to show me how to use the system to check the open probates list.
