i am married, my wife  [ 60 y/o ] is also disabled due to no kidneys and is on Home Hemo Dialysis, but she spends hours everyday looking through real estate , and though we have found several great oppurtunities, we have no been able to capitalise on them due to out low income and crummy credit ,  [although when i moved here i had 621 score until when I tried to refi through Loan Depot, they really messed me up and I am not sure what my score is now.]I think the first thing I need to do is repair my credit as best as I can, as well as see what kind of assets and value I have to help me get the investing process going. [ kinda long story packed with lessons there]  Due to a small windfall we have $5,000 earmarked for beginning real estate investing in hopes of getting our of our crushing poverty trench.I want to begin by doing non rehab wholesaling,  but am also wondering if Tax Lien investing might allow me more bang for my few bucks. 

Any recommendations for a good software that will allow me to customize contracts?

Of course, I am still investing at least 80% of assets in Houston but 20% will go to other market areas.

Memphis Invest has been around for 15 years now and is managing close to $680 Million in asset value for passive real estate investors from all over the country.

Hi Steve,It also comes down to comfort levels of whether you like to micro or macro manage your funding pools as well as your own personal financial auditing style.You also need to keep legality in mind as to whether the property is setup under a personal or corporate entity in order to protect yourself or your personal assets etc. 

They might give you a line of credit based on your assets.

I recommend to keep driving for dollars and pursuing vacant properties....then use a skip tracing software to find the owners.  

And both values must be calculated using software so it isn't any harder to determine their values (besides deciding your safe rate and reinvestment rate).I appreciate the importance of IRR as a form of training wheels since the concept is already difficult to grasp; someone learning shouldn't try to jump straight to understanding MIRR.

@Travis Rasmussen Apparently, neither have any other folks here :)OrbiRental is property management software that competes with Guesty, Hostaway, VReasy and the like... 

Are there any apps or software you wish you had, and if so for what in real estate, or is everything perfect and suits your needs?
