Post: Best FREE Expense Tracking Software

Hi All,
I need a little help. Can you recommend a FREE software to track income/expenses for an apartment I purchased with some partners? They need to be able to access it so cloud based would be best. I am NOT great at keeping track of things like this usually so simple would be good and maybe something that I could someday export into Quickbooks or something like that would be helpful.
Honestly if someone just has a spreadsheet they really like I'm fine using that as well.
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend a GC or anybody that can act as an overseer of a rehab of a 6 unit apartment not far from Spiceland, Indiana?
Any recommendations of property managers that specialize in that area as well?

Hi All,
I'm doing another meet up this Wednesday. I can't link it here but search for a meet up in Los Alamitos at Taco Surf. If you can't find it DM me.
Hope to see a few of you.

They are usually the last Wednesday of the month. In November it will probably be the 28th. Hope to see you there.

Which development are you referring to?
I wish I could talk to the closed account person. I was told 40% occupancy at the resort I've been looking at and at that rate the numbers are pretty good. According to all my research the numbers may even hit 50% in the next year or so. I'm still definitely considering this but an apartment deal has come my way where I usually invest in the Indianapolis area and it seems quite a bit safer and easy to attract a potential partner. Plus I know Indy and have a team already. Belize seems amazing but I'm a conservative guy.

@Account Closed I've been meaning to talk to you but I'm working on closing a big deal right now. Let's DM to pick a time.
Thanks.

Here is a link to next months event. My apologies again that tonights event can't take place but as you'll learn in real estate, sewer pipes can ruin a perfectly good day.

I am a new BP member and I've been to one Meet up event in Long Beach, last week. How long has the one in Los Alamitos been going on? If I'm in town on the 29th I'll be there and Thank you!
Hi James,
It looks like I never responded to you, I'm sorry about that, it was not my intention. This is a new meet up but there has been lots of experience in the room each time we've met.
Unfortunately tonights event is canceled because the location had a sewer pipe break but we'll be back next month.
Also if you ever want to chat feel free to reach out to me.
Best,
Jeb
