CRM Software with Customization OptionsCRM (Customer Relationship Management) software like Salesforce or Zoho CRM can be customized to track deal details, including financials, though it's not their primary function.Pros:Highly customizable and can be tailored to fit a wide range of data tracking needs.Good for managing relationships with lenders, partners, and tenants.Cons:Requires setup and possibly custom development, which can be costly.May be more complex than necessary for straightforward property management.Recommendation:The best choice depends on your specific needs:If you're comfortable with spreadsheets and have a relatively small portfolio, starting with Excel or Google Sheets might be the most cost-effective and straightforward approach.If financial management is your primary concern and you're willing to invest some time in setup, QuickBooks is a robust option.For a more comprehensive solution tailored to real estate investments, exploring specialized real estate investment software could provide the most benefits.If your operations involve significant relationship management and you need a highly customizable system, a CRM with customization might be the way to go.Before deciding, consider factors like cost, scalability, and the learning curve of new software.

I've seen scenarios where people buy "off-market" deals and offer a crazy upside, but in reality that deal was worse than one that sold on the market, and the comp they used on the upside was a seller finance deal that sat on the market for 280+ days...my job is never to convince anyone, but I always give them an opportunity, even if they want to go another route, to send me those deals so i can analyze them for them.

If it requires anything barely beyond a broom sweep and light dust we have cleaners come back in and finish the job at the tenant's cost. 

A huge motivator for why I chose this profession was the opportunity to get some traction with real estate while I work my W2 job.
