I'm primarily a buy and hold investor/landlord but am working on my first flip.I'm still a novice to this Real Estate game but the time has come to ramp it up and get busy.

Would be nice to have it automatically go through our software when it is collected.

I am looking at my first real "commercial" apartment building and like most things I'm starting off small... 6 unit building, I own a 4 plex, 3 duplexes and several SFH's, so I'm not totally new to the game, but all the previous properties I bought at deep deep discounts, all foreclosed, all cash deals, all in terrible awful shape, all are now rehabbed beautiful and cash flowing very well.So this leads me to this 6 plex, its in an area I already own duplexes, I finally this week contacted the owner, turns out he's ready to sell, hes owned the property since 1981 with his brother, his brother is 10 years older then he is and can't do any of the work anymore. so...

That way you will at least keep your head in the game, note future neighborhoods to invest in (or not invest in) for yourself and possibly learn some good valuable information from the investor you could be bird dogging for.

As a new investor though I would say stick to the numbers and learn the game first.

The process is very easy and fast.Buying the program is very economical at Sam's Club.Some leasing and loan servicing software programs have the ability to export information to Quickbooks.I am very good at working with spreadsheets, but always use Quickbooks in the situation you described.

Nobody asks for video games anymore.

Currently I am a senior software engineer for a large insurance company.

I am super excited to be back in the game with more knowledge than ever, a thirst to learn and eagerness to meet fellow BP members and investors.PS - I tell everyone I speak to about Bigger Pockets.com - love this place!

It was no longer earning anything... so I figured this would be a great opportunity to continue contributing to my retirement and get in the real estate game.
