In my old business we used a customized VTiger solution which worked very well and was FREE.

I plan to get a more customized lease put together by a lawyer probably by the time I rent out another unit (not sure when that will be).

Also, when I contacted him, he would not release the contact information for any of his allegedly happy customers whose testimonials he had posted on his site.

I have some, but I usually customize them quite a bit.

Those deals still make sense for those players.I do mostly buy-and-hold in my personal portfolio and we require at least 20% ROE using conservative pro forma modeling assumptions from a custom model we use in Excel.For build or fix-and-flip projects I have seen recently you can get unlevered 30% returns and at least double that with prudent leverage ratios.

I have just posted a rough projection on my site that my recent customer can expect to see unfold in his new property.

Everybody seems to be gravitating towards to Milwaukee's northwest side for rehabs; they tend to be ranches that can be bought cheap, easy to rehab, and sold affordably to first time home buyers (think $100-115K.)As for the website, it's basically an out of the box template that I customized and slightly reconfigured; I'm glad you like it.

I have arranged such deals and it comes from the down payment, so if there is enough to make everyone happy, go for it.Question to ask is "will your customer have his credit/debts in control when a contract requires him to buy?"

We figure, know what your customer wants so you know what your looking for....from there itll be the marketing to absentee's with 10 plus years, free and clear owners, taking some drives up to the cleveland area and so on and so forth...I know our website isnt "top of the line" but it gets the message out there of what we do.

A lot of them in my market here get MLS properties under contract and then try to sell them at 20-25% margin and then their ARV and rehab numbers are completely unrealistic.IMO, the best way to make money is by making your customers' life easier and making them happy.
