I second Podio. I utilize it with Zapier. 

MileIQ is good as well but can drain battery.

    @Anthony Nguyen There are really so many but the latest is Podio.  It is great for keeping track of leads and projects.

    @Anthony Nguyen, I use many applications both on a pc as well as iPhone/iPad. First off, I use everything by Google(it just works). My email, contacts, map, browser & calendar are all Google based. I also use most Microsoft applications such as Outlook, MS Office, etc. via my desktop pc. 

    For my mobile devices, I use many applications such as the ones listed above, plus the following: 

    Docusign - used for paperless document/contract/tenant form signings.

    Apps such as PDF Expert(pdf doc modifier) , PDF Office(pdf doc creator) , PDF Converter, Spark Email, Documents(cloud doc integrator), Calendar 5, Scanner Pro, Printer Pro all created by a company by the name of Readdle. The name of these apps are self explanatory( I believe) and they all work together to make my business processes work alot smoother. For more details about what these apps do, just checkout there website.

    I use a project manager app called IQTELL.

    My favorite CRM that I'm using is called Nimble. It's the best social media connected CRM that I have found, if you are into that type of thing.

    Current property management app that I use is called RentecDirect.

    There are so many other apps that I can list, but, these are just a few that help my business work and make my life alot easier. Hope this helps.

    I'm a buy & hold investor so my need for software may not be as high as some other folks. Gmail and Google Calendar are definitely must-halves. If you're going to use Gmail and have an iPhone/iPad, download their app instead of using the built-in mail, I like it better (also can try Google Inbox).

    I have my Google Calendar synced to my iPhone's calendar, and Google Contacts synced to my phone as well, so looking up people's contact details is a breeze.

    And finally, I now do all of my property analysis, projections, comparison on my phone. I used to use Excel, but it just didn't scale well and I couldn't export PDF reports.

    Hope this helps!

    Great thanks for your input.

    I personally managed 22 flips Jan-Jun 2016 and was seeing whats out there. Currently use BuilderTrend for the PM aspect of it.

    MileIQ is a solid general mileage tracker. LandMile is narrower: built specifically for landlords / rental property trips.
