Any thoughts on a good option for a software (cloud-based) for managing REI portfolio, finding deals, CRM, follow-up, etc

You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.

It kind of paints the picture of the bank's software not knowing the difference between an attached townhouse and a detached SFR, so they priced it wrong. 

You can see how the software works by going to youtube and search BLPREI.

Do we need to begin using accounting software like Quickbooks for tax purposes? 

Or you can find other resources (software and spreadsheets) in BP's file place or online.Best of luck!

I passed the state and national exams a year ago and then joined an existing company that had the software and processes to streamline the inspection process.

If you do not have experience with those sites does anyone have a suggestion for what software to use in finding numbers that are reliable?

My wife and I manage 3 properties, and while we can manage them without any software, I'm a software developer myself, and would prefer to better digitize our documentation, inspections, repair histories, rent payments, etc. 

You can also buy lists from companies like list source and there are some REI software companies that have a cash buyer search feature.Some of best ways to find motivated sellers is to purchase lists from companies like listsource and or compile lists from city and county like 60-90-120 days late on mortgage, pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, water cutoff, code violation, probate, divorce, etc.
