You could try to specialize in something: digital marketing, social media, direct mail marketing (managing a mailing database, designing mailers), real estate software programs, etc.  

Oh-  and I forgot to mention - there is now a software program called PlanGrid, which is amazing, and will allow you to "out-organize" all your construction crews, and ultimately make you money.  

I am an accountant that quit her career in tax software programming once first child was born (since no family here); now have 4 children.

I am a software engineer by undergrad degree and trade and i've got a JD hanging on my wall that I don't use for much more than experiments in how temperature variations effect dust collection rates. 

What I did was build some software that scraped a few sites for section 8 apartments then I want to find the owner info so I can send them offer letters.  

We spent 2015 trying property management software (CRM's).

Cost segregation is very important at every stage.As J Beard mention - use QuickBooks - learn to budget and forecast by property right in one software.

George - I was actually checking out your profile and website earlier today after catching one of your posts on accounting software.  

Great software.

I think it would be beneficial to have both personal finances and business finances tracked in the same platform, but I am not so sure that this is common, or even what software is capable of this.I currently use Mint for personal finances and I do not think it has the ability to track business financials.How do you folks handle this?
