Mike, Yes there are books and software but often much more expensive and sophisticated than you need.

Business associate today gave me these ideas to add to all the great advice when marketing on a low budget to find wholesale deals:Place we buy house sign on your car.Place business cards at gas stations, ATM machines, casinos, and inside books at bookstores.Ads in thrifty nickel.Mortgage brokers for leads.Cold calling for leads.

What about running the audio through some inexpensive dictation software such as Dragon, then hiring a VA at $10-$20/episode (as discussed in 4 Hour Work Week) to piece together any missed translations?

Pictures of locks, type of locks, antivirus software???

In addition, I will be showing off my software application which has allowed me and others to make more offers and get more deals while becoming even more productive and not burning out the agents!

@Nate Green Yes its software that only agents have access to.

Hi All,I would GREATLY appreciate any and all concise,knowledgable advice about these 3 softwares.I'm a beginning investor very much interested in wholesaling as the start,leading up to flipping then buy & hold investing.I've been researching all 3 but I've been running into conflicting opinions so I've posted here with like-minded individuals for the truth so to speak.I realize that Proptrend is rather pricey($2,000)for my business right now but I would appreciate an honest opinion about that software as well as advice about Propstream & REIBlackbook which was reviewed on this site & the reviewer states that she uses REIb.Everyone & anyone,I am trying to start my business off in the right direction by using the tools & advice supplied to me on this site(advice from the 7 ways to automate your business article has been implemented already)so any advice that I can use & run with to help my business achieve the success that I believe it can,I would be forever thankful for...!    

I’m a beginner REI with a background in software development.

I needed a solution and started asking around: my CPA recommended Quickbooks, a software that he is using and very familiar with.

He uses multiple software packages that integrate together to manage his leads.
