@Rosie Geller let me start of by saying I was in IT including live broadcasting of International tennis tournaments, so I have experience in security and security cameras.The problem with using security cameras are:- the resolution at night usually isn’t good enough to make identification unless you buy REALLY good cameras which will cost more then the AC unit you lost.- even if you get an alert, the response time of police isn’t fast enough and your equipment is long gone.

If the deal is good enough we will fund it. 

So even though I just wasn't good enough to make it work, I would still recommend their program of all the ones out there.  

I also thing charitable contributions should count if it is to a good enough charity.

You won't get a good enough ROI.

Shouldn’t that be good enough?

Should a wholesaler have proof of funds letter and an offer letter or is the purchase and assignment contract good enough?

I have been trying to figure out which works best before buying my first property.This is what I observe:Excel spreadsheets - free but time consumingQuickBooks - $30/month but too complexStessa - free version is good enough but runs out of steam soonOther landlord software - from $20-40/month with mixed reviewsWhat's irking me is that the majority of these tools either make you feel like a huge property management company or as if you're not very tech-savvy.

The Pigeon Forge area is pretty saturated and anything in Florida has super high insurance rates.I'd identify properties and run the numbers along with insurance quotes.If you get a good enough purchase price you could likely make something work.Look at travel times to attractions, amenities, views (water, mountains etc) and see how your local competition to any subject properties your interested in is doing.

The thought in my mind, though, is collaboration with a broker. is it good enough to share a spreadsheet with them so they can see the numbers if they know about investments?
