@Henry HallmanNice to meet you and welcome to BP.

unless you are very confident with the contractors work and they know exactly what you want, I would highly suggest you wait until you get back.The reason I say this is because a contractor more than likely will not meet your expectations of what you want.

Also does anyone have contacts for tampa REIA meetings? 

Little brash and abrupt for a friendly platform wouldn't you say @Nathan W.?  

I am proficient in excel but not enough to build and maintain something that would meet our needs. 

When and where is the next meeting for The Woodlands, TX area.

3) Travel the world4) Help othersI'm particularly interested in building wealth through the Buy and Hold investing strategy.BP has been nothing but awesome and I look forward to meeting many people on this site. 

.- We hustled Shawn for a lunch meet / brain picking session :) very busy man so my deepest appreciation to him (I give him credit to get my gears turning)- Subscribed to BP - Still new to the site but we are so amazed of the tons of info, resources and amazing people to learn from that even for someone with a real estate back ground, I’m learning new things everyday.

@Jaime Botello  I am not quite sure if you are asking how those who run the platform make money, but it can be through a variety of ways.  

The tenant meets my criteria. i was just wondering about his situation being a recent move in town if there is anything special to that situation I should know/ask about
