We are using Podio for organization in our real estate activities.

I held a real estate active broker license for about 30 years but I have never done that full time.  

When I have a large portfolio or if I am not local, I will hire a PM but it seems silly to pay for a service I can supply to myself even if it is a little bit of a hassle. 

Looked into it once before but for the rate they gave me I didn't like the fact that I lost some capabilities my current loan servicer offers like putting my loans on hold if I go back to school (and subsidized loans' interest being covered during the time).

So last week I purchased a VPN service just to get access to loop.net, although I haven't gotten it working yet.  

For a limited time, my company ExecuDesk Virtual Assistant Services is offering a 2 hour free trial of our services to interested real estate professionals.

My sister works for a reputable property manager and we can get a good value for the service.

While taxes are necessary to keep the country running, property taxes can differ from street to street, so make sure the taxes your tenant/buyer would be paying make sense for the services they would be using. 

If you are running to the hardware store on a very frequent basis, or using your vehicle to haul significant amounts of materials, the IRS could question your level of involvement and whether you are providing services to the IRA.

I recently moved to Arlington, VA after graduating university and starting a career in the financial services industry.
