I have purchased dozens and dozens of in my market,  You better know your numbers and reno budget. If you are new do not even think about this.

Besides ARV/Purchase price… When you say numbers, youre talking like I should be able to know what the worst case cost of a rehab ona property at a certain size should be? Or something else?

Quote from @Patrick Jackson:

Hello Bobby

I use my CRM mainly as a hub to harvest and identify the leads coming from the many sources that I use for marketing and lead generation resources. This allows me to identify and keep up with the performance indicators from the beginning of the workflow. 

The next thing is customer communication for those that I need to engage. I don’t have time, nor want to use leisure time to sit and email or try and contact each potential seller that comes in as a lead. I use the drip campaign function. 

For offer evaluation I use my CRM to gather the vital info from data resources to find last owners, mortgage info and current property value. This is important when I need to make a quick decision on making attractive offers. 
Ina wholesale transaction I use my CRM to compile a deal for my buyers. Cash buyers want details. I have two lists. A list for cash on the spot buyers and B for investors that need funding. It makes it easy for the slam dunk deals I know my A listers are attracted to. 
Closing details are important to measure my key performance indicators. When I spend money on marketing and resources the important facts are around what my money is doing. Making adjustments in markets and resources is important to make sure I don’t let the dam hole leak too bad. 
I have built my own rig with Podio and have been using it for over 9 years now. 

Hope this helps.  

Sweet! I've heard a lot of good things with Podio. 9 years with it, I don't imagine you plan to switch it up !

@Bobby Paquette if an STR brings you the same net as an LTR why would you hassle with it? WAY more work...


 I think the same thing, was just looking to see what other people thought
