I'm excited that I've found this platform

Welcome Jerry O.I am new to the site as well, and I can tell you first hand that there is a wealth of knowledge, within the BP platform. there are several modules that can bring you great success in your REI endevaours.

@Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin thanks for providing a simple way to analyze deals and a great platform for creating spec sheets for investors.

I am very interested in properties with tillable land and a climate suitable for wheat farming for our primary residence.

Sorry the venue was a little loud, but next time we will find something more suitable.

I placed a bid at what I thought was a suitable price for a home in major disrepair.

I've been in IT most of my career, too, which has been a good platform for real estate investing.

Yes, it is true Android runs across a wider spectrum of hardware devices and, consequently, Android apps, need be aware of the platform on which they are running and adjust themselves (display size, networking options, specific hardware devices{GPS, NFC} etc) accordingly.Despite the fact iOS runs on a much smaller, more uniform, set of hardware devices, good development practice would see the same platform awareness measures taken.Fortunately for you, unless you have a specialized need, there are library APIs on both platforms which assist your app to adjust itself to the platform on which is it running.I will admit, I have not played with the BP iOS app to see how it was implemented, but I cannot imagine it requiring anything out of the routine (i.e no special hardware or low-level access required).

Josh and Brandon both make the platform a rich one for the entire community. 

There are certainly other very good programs available, but for me being on the same software platform with my CPA turned out to be actually priceless - even it took me a while to realize that.So, I figured January 1st would be a good start date for brand new, neat and tidy books (hence the new years resolution) and went ahead to buy the software.
