I’m James Goodlett.Brand new to the REI game.Only real experience is the purchase of my home that has since been converted to a rental property.I’m trying my hand at investing as a potential follow on career path.Once upon a time I grew up in KS, but when stateside I’ve lived primarily in TN and AL for the last twenty years.My goals in REI are to simply offset my pending retirement check without being tied to anyone’s whim but mine.I fully understand that work is involved in being successful in this endeavor.BiggerPockets was a recommended source for information and networking. 

Very helpful tips, thanks so much for them :)and @James Wise thanks for the insight, starting to understand the success/significance in using my time most effectively.

James,While this likely isn't the ideal thing you're looking for, the cloud CRM software CLIENTLOOK might be a start.

@James Wise - I believe you were looking for flexible lenders in Ohio?

Hey @James Wise thanks for the message.

Thanks James.

@Jason James - I'll second you on the shady *** shenanigans that take place.
