 @Account Closed It is great to be part of a community. I am a part of several, in addition to BP and I am not sure how I could have grown without it. However, my local REIA is the only paid community that I am a part of and it is $200 per year. The REIA exists to support new investors.

It may seem like a great thing and you may get some good information and value from the program. However, do you think that the program ultimately exists to assure that you succeed or does it exist to make PM money? What guarantees for success does it make and what outcomes are measured regarding the validity of the "program"? 

All of the 20 somethings in our market think he’s the best thing since sliced bread, but they don’t know any successful investors off YouTube. The great ones are not there. 

I think there are better ways to spend your money. 

I see some older conversations about Stessa, but nothing that completely answers my question. I use Wave instead of QB for accounting. I hated QB and refuse to use it. I have tried Stessa and I do see its advantage to managing rental property, however, I also need to manage my rehab properties and I also wholesale. There is what I term as "overhead" for my business as a whole. In Stessa, I can distribute the overhead to each of my properties, but in general things like website hosting and my use of propstream has nothing to do with any of my properties as they are general business expenses. 

When it comes down to it, Stessa is much easier to use than my Wave accounting and offers me much better visuals, but since many of my expenses are "overhead", I am not sure about going all in on Stessa. I also am not wanting to keep both because I have to do double categorization of the same expenses that come in through my bank account. 

Is anyone else using Stessa for overall business accounting? 

@Warren Buan I’m a full time investor in KC. I would love to chat with you about the market. 

Ryan, have you joined the local REIA? There are several attorneys who are members and who could do this for you. Reach out if you need help and if you connect with the REIA tell them Angel sent you 😁

Hi Nick I am in KC too and can probably help you with this. 
The comments here are spot on, you need to get some agreements from him before you worry about the contract. Start with why is he selling? 

Good luck and reach out if I can help! 

@Deborah Bailey nice to meet you. I am a problem solver and live/invest in KC. It is a bit difficult to communicate in a chat like this, so if you want to chat on the phone,  I would be happy to see if I can help. I am not an agent so can’t list the house if you go that direction, but if you don’t have one already, I do know many. 

I am sorry about your friend. Have you spoken to her about her belongings including the house? What does she want to happen? 
If she is willing to sell you the house, what price does she want for it? You could easily secure an option to purchase at your agreed to price. 
If I can be of assistance please reach out to me. I can try to help you step past some of the barriers that may be present so you can achieve your outcome. 

Hi if anyone here uses Propstream and can give me some tips on how you are using the favorites list vs the marketing list, I would sincerely appreciate it. I just can't come up with a great system for managing my leads and continue to question what these different lists are even for. Would I have some properties in both lists?  

Then secondly, if you are using the list automator, how are you using it. 

Thanks so much!  Angel

I struggle a bit with how to share what I am doing since a lot of it is networking and building relationships.
