Hi Seth, That tool you mention, Agent Pro 24/7 , Is that a free tool ?

If you are creative with your financing, and use the tools (like your VA loan) to your advantage, you have every opportunity regardless of rank, and for the most part us O-types don't get down-payment sized reenlistment bonuses for key career fields, so you might actually have a leg up in getting started on me.

It is a useful tool, but like everything else in real estate, "due diligence" is a must.

You know...there is a tool right here on BP to analyze rentals...https://www.biggerpockets.com/buy-and-hold-calculator

I have been looking for tools to use to evaluate the RE market in certain areas.

Due to new tenants often meeting me in a pair of old jeans and a T-shirt along with an old old truck full of tools everywhere, I kind of feel that maybe I appear to be something less than professional and worthy of being tried.

He has let me borrow tools and given me simple advice on how to cheaply make repairs.

There is a wealth of information here on BP, the podcasts are great tools among others to educate yourself.

Having done due diligence on second non-performing notes I have all the tools and necessary data bases to do the underwriting.One must be very much aware of changing market conditions in your area.

So think of it as a tool.
