I was hoping there was some sort of investor deal eportfolio section built into our profiles where I could share details on my deal, show the work I have completed, and log events for other investors to follow as it happens.

I'm feeling a little uneasy about it now because i tried to log on and it said it didn't recognize my email.

Excel works too but I prefer Google because its accessible anywhere I can log into my email.  

Just logged on now and then.I have had about 300 views of my blog this week and loads of great bits of advice etc.Remember we learn from mistakes,learn from mine get involved today.Good luck, see you at the top my friend 😊

This was right about the time I started logging into Biggerpockets. 

They promise that the matter is being taken care but there is a back log in the recording department.A back log?

With this information, you'll know how recent the data is and whether or not you're willing to trust it (as opposed to using the old "guess and hope" method).When you're logged in, just click on the green "Tools" button, scroll down to "Geographic Coverage", click on your state and you'll see the full list, with the date each county was last updated. 

It's log cabin construction however.

How are you able to touch base with them on a weekly basis to ensure that they did their due diligence, logged in their time and sent over the things that you needed from them?

I'll start off by saying believe in the power of CL (craigslist) I don't let a day pass   without utilizing that site.my advice to you would be log on CL search area's within a 2hr distance from you go under real estate fsbo filter your search with we buy house's or I buy ugly house's and investor special,once you find these ads start making phone calls,reason being these investors know their local market and have their hands on the pulse of that farm area.After dissecting all the useful info from local rei,I generally go to google streetview and walk the neighborhoods to have a better understanding of there market.Trust me it works I just closed 3 wholesale deals in Birmingham,Al using those same techniques,I was fortunate enough to find a we buy house's sign on a street corner zoomed in on the sign called the number and almost 2 months later the deal was funded.I hope this post serves you willCheers!
