Christopher,Check out the following property management software packages. 

Hey Andrea, I would check out the Columbus market.

Check what you would need for insurance too.

I was checking rootstock but is there any other geography or methodology you would suggest ?

I have not yet explored those options and will check them out.

Check out the listing input forms for a residential property for two different MLSs: Los Angeles and San Diego (in case you want to see how different the forms can be).

@Alison CromwellIn order to obtain a flip loan with no consistent income history, the following steps need to be undertaken: create an impressive credit score, put aside more funds as a down payment, check out new methods of getting funding besides what is available from banks or other financial institutions, involve yourself in investments with toughened entrepreneurs, show how financially sound you are by doing things such as getting enough money into savings over time through frugal living habits or accumulating valuable assets that can be readily converted into cash when required among others like developing several stable sources of income or steadily growing one.

Next steps in this scenario: 1) Asking the agent if the landowner specifically stated to reject offers below a certain dollar amount. 2) If the agent doesn't respond or responds with a no, notifying them of the ethics violation. 3) Notifying the brokerage of the ethics violation. 4) Completing the form for the violation with the local real estate governing board. 5) Submitting your offer directly to their client, and bypassing the agent--check local laws on this one, as well as the do not call registry, before doing so.

Worth checking.

Oh, and I knew near to nothing about finance short of how to get a checking account, but I knew how to build, and renovate, better then anyone else around, and I made a promise, so I went at it.
