Welcome @Lisa Rappleyea BP is an amazing place with tons of potential. A lot of people are going to offer you help and 99.99% of them legitimately want to help you and will spend hours of their own time supporting you. 

If you have any questions feel free to ping me. I started investing this last year in Indy from California and have had really great experiences. 

Good luck.

Hi @Polar Prutaseranee and all. I've been playing with Waveapp.com tonight. It seems descent but I'm not sold on it yet. I'll try to let you know how it goes.

I need to be better at my bookkeeping and thought I was going to buy Quicken for real estate investors but came across Wave. Does anybody use it? What do you think of it? I want something easy and at the same time thorough. I want to run reports and see what properties are giving me the best results and just print a report for my tax guy when it's time. If you don't use Wave what do you use? Thanks for any input.

I rarely use Evernote but I feel like I should incorporate it more in my business. Just saying...

 @Robin Boyer It's not hard at all. If I can do it anybody can. If you have any specific questions I'm happy to pay forward the help that others on BP have given me. Feel free to contact me.

Hi @Lane Kawaoka I use Curtis Gregory for my inspections (if you want his # PM me). He has reasonable rates and creates very thorough reports in a timely manor. If you use him please drop my name, I'm not getting paid but maybe he'll give me a discount on my next inspection.

@Christopher Suh @Salvatore Lentini and @Matt Motil Thanks for your input guys. I'm still not 100% sure what to do but I know I need to act this week. 

Have a great week guys.

@Christopher Suh They want to sell because they lost to sons in the last few years and want out of the town where their boys were born and raised. Plus they're getting older and want to travel.

Hi @Christopher Suh I met with the owners and they are a very nice older couple. According to the selling broker they won't accept owner financing. Is it ultra rude and underhanded for me to call the sellers myself and ask them about owner financing? They did tell me to call them anytime if I have any questions and they said it right in front of the broker.
