Perhaps not in a 100% automated fashion like you'd like, but better than what we have now.We're always looking for specific feedback, so feel free too send me a PM and we can chat about your suggestions.

@Sai Krishna Byra Since you are new at all this and also want to track your personal expenses, I suggest you start with Quicken Premier or Quicken Rental Prop Manager.

That technique works in any market so it really isn't specific to market contractions or bear real estate markets.Does anyone have any suggestion on resources for profiting from bear real estate markets?

Thanks for all the suggestions!
