Ideally having the servicing notes is an excellent research tool.

Excel is no longer scalable for us and we are looking for a platform that will allow us to put in forecasts for the properties and ideally pull data in from an accounting system to report.  

For small companies, free CRM system is an ideal option.SugarCRM- Pricing: starting from $40SugarCRM has sales automation and forecasting, marketing campaigns and lead management, customer service and case management, and online support.

Ideally I'd like to get $50k-$60k out of it, but I don't know if the market would bear that price.

Ideally tenant collects from his friend but it is not a concern of the LL.As a LL, I have had to evict a person that was not the tenant. 

It'll give you some leverage if/when you need to go to court.I also wouldn't worry about the $8k from the movie filming.

Ideally even more.

@Traci Cameron typically the type of property that is ideal for flipping is a distressed property.

I leave porno movies on the BluRay player and maybe some beer in the fridge. 

I make an offer that is acceptable for me depending on the risks I have to take getting the flip done.This number IS my highest offer and I flat out tell the sellers this with my breakdown of my numbers.I am not going to waste time with making a lower offer, wait for them to get back with me, fight over a few grands, then someone regrets (because this IS what happens when you negotiate... someone will have to accept a number they didn't ideally want in the first place).I give my highest offer from the start.
