Hi everyone,I have a basic profile on Bigger Pockets and the tool may exist but I just can't find it or I need to upgrade my account.

Hello fellow investors,im new to investing, i had my real estate license for 3 yrs, spent thousands on starting my R.E.I. business i have tools and websites that allow me to get all the info on pre foreclosures (lender's attorney info, and borrowers home address), addresses of cash buyers, generic contracts (need a nys attorney to modify), i even have access to POF and funds (100% transactional funding & 50% buy and hold funding) but i can't seem to close my first deal.i understand i need to have my own attorney and cpa but i have no more funds to pay for their services. i also tried to do some wholesaling but nyc is a tougher market than i thought.any advice on what i can do?

I'm a corporate finance analyst by trade so I immediately went looking for modeling tools and found some great work here at the FilePlace - all for free!  

Hopefully I can get familiar with the deal analysis tools on here and use that to help me.Thanks again for your insight and time. 

Of course, welcome to one of the coolest resources and educational tools for starting out in real estate.

BiggerPockets is a great tool!

I try and read at least 1 business book and 1 Real Estate book a month.Philadelphia also has some very useful online tools to access public records.Flipping can be a tricky thing to get your feet wet with, but if you do a live-in flip you minimize risk by having the property provide you with a residence. 

Your right, school is not needed to be in biz, but it would be a tool you would bring to any deal. 

Can anyone suggest tools they use to figure out if the property is a good deal or not? 

I'm finishing up a book on buying and selling portfolios and will offer my analysis tool on the website.Other income - You can add other income from background checks, pet rent, pet deposits, etc etc.
