At the same time there are property investors with very large portfolios (20,000) so there must be something that works.I think what you will find is newer investors or amateurs who are not on top of their game get into more trouble than seasoned investors and professional property managers.Warning: watch out for real estate agents who manage part time while filling in the gaps between sales.

I guess I am just gonna have to get in the game.

I have access to MLS, FMLS, as well as Redlink (a piece of software that lists deed transfers and URAR information).I just have a few questions that I would like to get some input on, because I'd like to get started with real estate investing within the next year or two.

Everyone has a different game plan, so only you can decide if the income vs expense falls within your guidelines.

Anyhow, everday brings to light new info, thankfully I have someone teaching me this all who knows the game well.

Can anyone recommend a basic property management software program for a relatively small, home-based operation?

I'm a little new to the game, and just trying to figure out the ins and outs of the process before fully committing myself.

These guys have literally taken it down to the last game.

It's basically a waiting game.
