I decided on that because I wanted to be able to have emails that matched website, have tracking information available, able to update my website, add pics, and other features.

Most of the properties don't share similar features to the subject property (# of bed baths, etc) and I seem to be stuck at a standstill.

This show may not be seen nationally but Desperate Landscape is produced in my area, they featured my daughters yard.

It literally becomes a selling feature... almost as if I had put a McDonald's in the front yard.In fact, statistically speaking, many of the highest sales in my area have sold with Ikea cabinets.

Cleaning from the inside is a nice feature, but not really a critical consideration unless the window is located in a place hard to reach from the outside like a second story.

Start using the forum search feature to find posts related to commercial loans for apartment purchasing, how to analyze deals (50% rule, 2% rule, etc).Five Steps you can take now:1) Education: Read as much as you can on BP, find and attend a local real estate investing association meeting, beware of guru courses you will spend big bucks on.

Another fantastic feature brought to you by Joshua Dorkin!

You can see them all in one glance and can easily use the "find" feature to look up specific leads in seconds.I use Excel to manage all my leads as well as all my interns that I manage for my wholesaling business.

Shortly after getting countersued, CL introduced their own "map view" in October 2012 which works great: http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/10/04/craigslist-rolls-out-new-map-view-feature-for-apartment-searches/But since CL was about 4 years behind on this feature, the other players probably took 10% of the market share, and are still growing.It remains to be seen if Craiglist's new functionality will eventually force everyone else out of business.Personally, I like the online application feature offered by PadLister, so I will keep using it for now.

Thanks for the advise,Jerry who do you use for your IRA with the "checkbook" feature?
