Does anyone have a reasonable priced software that loads transactions and allows us to run reports by property?

Along with the many items listed check references, and verify occupancy loads with the fire marshal.

The fact that their database of loans is very massive I'm always surprised at how quickly my data loads on each page refresh. 

I understand using cash for a transaction you're probably going to make a larger net profit but does that out weight the benefit of keeping your assets liquid and being able to do more projects?

(Clearly my formula needs to be revisited) I have loads of experience with talking to perspective sellers and have marketed to absentee investors, probate, and high equity homeowners that may be looking to retire.

Could have been a load of crap but still!

And it is very very hard to break into court house steps buying. you need a boat load of cash I mean millions if your really going to play.So you get newbie showing up they have 100 to 200k in cash ready to swing.. they get out bid for months on end..

So, make sure that you're certain you have the power capabilities (have you done load calcs across all electric appliances/motors?)...

That can eat up lots of parking and the other tenants might be turned off by all the kids and noise.If the daycare is upstairs kids running around jumping up and down transfers weight and noise to downstairs tenants.Internet business if you have the connections there for them to use sounds maybe promising.

The fact is, most homeowners do not know what is 'good' and what is 'average' or they would not hire someone...this means that there is a high chance that you do not know either.If you do not understand the different types of construction dating back 200 years from balloon to platform framing and if you do not understand structures and and how loads travel through walls, beams, columns, and footers..you should not GC any structural projects.If you do not know the difference between a level 2 or level 4 plaster finish or the differences between a dovetail or stapled cabinets, lippage for tiles, or how climate, season, or recently poured concrete impacts hardwood floor installation, you may not make a good non-structural GC.Point 2) IF this contractor thinks it's such a good idea to get licensed...why doesn't he get licensed?
