Read quite a bit too and feel a lot better now and believe I want to jump in the real estate wholesale niche to begin with and then gradually based on the experience & the type of deals I obtain, transition into fix & flip.But before I do that, I am a guy who likes to be prepared, have a strong business plan in place, processes in place, growth processes, manuals ready on what needs to be done and how etc etc...I would like to find out about what are the different software's out there which you pro's are using?

Can someone recommend some helpful but user-friendly software that will help me calculate the important financial metrics (e.g., leveraged IRR, unleveraged IRR, cash on cash, etc.) that I would need to know in buying small apartment properties (15 units at a time, for example).

Prior to leaving that career, you held a federal position for a year as a construction manager on projects ranging from a few hundred thousand up to $17-Million-dollar military construction projects.All during this time, you advanced your skills with CAD software that now allows you to produce high-quality drawings consistently and accurately, culminating from your experience of 30 years in the residential design and construction industry.

This might sound a little crazy but I actually liked my landlord software so much that I ended up applying for a job with them.

Hi @Donald Dickerson, if your are keen on tracking your net worth, free software like mint.com is a pretty nifty tool for doing so and showing trends in spending, income, and net worth. 

So the funder pushes the 'fund' button at basically the exact same time for both, with two instances of the mortgage origination software open, just like there is presumably one person at one location that pushes the buttons for ALL the rockets to ignite (you wouldn't have rocket 1 be a lady in Florida, and rocket 2 be a guy in Texas...).

Recent college grad and software engineer looking to get in to buy & hold real estate investing. 

If I can start doing them on my own, do I need any particular software.   

I am looking to see if anyone can recommend a free real estate construction project management software that manages project budgets and schedules.

I'm a young software engineering professional working in NYC with enough money saved up for a downpayment on an entry-level home that I want to use for rental income.I recently visited Detroit and love the culture there, but I won't be able to visit, so I'd probably be interested in hiring a management company.Is it possible to be cashflow-positive with turnkey properties using a management company in Detroit?
