Online tools and apps are great ways to screen properties and to learn the area but nothing fully replaces going there.

Sorry about the duplicates the app crashed every time I posted this.

Are you using the mobile phone app or regular web browser?

Do you know property radar’s app is accurate with the homeowner’s cell phone number and mailing addresses?

You should be able to lookup the permit history for the property by looking online here:https://apps-secure.phoenix.gov/PDD/Search/PermitsBut you can always head down the local building department and tell them you're under contract for the purchase of the property and wanted to see what was permitted, what the process will be, ask questions about your window, etc.Here is a link to the brochure for the program I believe @Michael Hacker was talking about:https://www.phoenix.gov/pddsite/Documents/TRT/dsd_trt_pdf_00690.pdfHope this information helps!

Nothing against Google Voice but it does not offer the complete package and spending $20 a month for a full phone system (mobile app too) is just a no brainer for me.

Cozy has clean reports and you can also track expenses via the app

I have the app meetup but does anyone know of any local meet ups near Fort Worth coming up?

@Lauren Bishop for really simple you can use the app Everlance to track mileage, expenses, and revenue. it's free and very basic, but for 1 property its not bad, especially if you use a PM because they should send you a statement every month that covers most of your expenses and you just plug that until the app. then when you need to send a report to your accountant, or just generate one for yourself, you can export to an excel file.

I made this account in kind of a hurry a few weeks ago and recently decided to download the app to check it out from my phone.
