If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.

Make sure you understand the basic math, what qualifies as a good investment, how to manage your investment and prevent losses, etc.I would start with Set For Life by Scott Trench.

I am an Intel IT Manager and life can be a bit busy sometimes. :)  I hope to retire in a year and 2 months. 

So far I have gotten good feedback and I think the best way to learn is by doing and by learning from real life scenarios.

Also, the ability to export reports for partners or lenders would be a plus.Essential Data/Analytics: Reliable rent estimates, cap rates, cash-on-cash return, operating expenses (especially maintenance and CapEx), and local market trends like population growth or job market health are key for decision-making

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

Scott Trench's "Set for Life" is for younger investors.

That ONE will change your life :) GO GET EM.

On paper, it sounds like a good deal, but I worry that you are doing this all on a spreadsheet and not in real life.

2.) looking for advice on how to deploy 600+ thousand dollars into real estate and start receiving the cash flow from it without having to pull the 401(k) out and swallow the tax ramifications.I currently own 13 units and receive healthy cash flow from all of them, but I am looking to increase my cash flow so I can ease into the next phase of my life which includes work of a different kind but not doesn’t having a 9 to 5 job.Thanks in advance!
