I use OneNote for a large swath of functions, from scanning business cards, clipping web articles to read later and keeping different projects in order.

I wish there was something out there like that.We first start with general web searches.

I have read many threads and I have fundamental knowledge about real estate.

@Joe Splitrock I think your assumption about people leaving the market for RE is a good observation fundamentally.

The fundamentals you describe are good - I always plan on the lower end of the spectrum for rents. 

the provider is great and very helpful. fundamentally though, they are selling me something and I am buying something, so I am looking for a local third party, if available, to help out a new guy (look at paperwork, give advice, etc.)

@John Welz Welcome.You may want to join us at a meeting soon, web in the signature below...Don't worry about the long commute;-)

The fundamental piece of your process is at the end of the day you need to establish trust with the investor and clearly communicate how the investor will benefit by working with you vs. your competition.The average investor amount and ownership allocations will vary depending on each deal, your experience and track-record and what you can negotiate.

The key for me will be finding:a) Sellers who need to dump a property that needs lipstick, but is fundamentally solidb) someone to carry the short-term loan with very low down payment (sub-20%, non-owner, first mortgage, likely with a higher interest rate) based on the facts that I have bought it below market, and I will immediately be increasing the property value when I am handed the keys.I am going to look into people who are inheriting a home that was last decorated by their grandmother in 1950, and people who are incapable of screening bad tenants and just finished their third eviction this year :)
