Hi BP Community- Is there an Off Market/ Motivated seller Lead source in BP such as an app that you can subscribe through BP for the data or a good resource someone can advice that has really worked for them

Here’s an article that really has some good data on tax rates and where people appear to be migrating to: https://smartasset.com/retirem...

In chatting and building the relationship (I’ve been helping repair some things around the duplex), he’s the one that has been discussing moving on with the property and the thought of owner financing, he mentioned the tax benefits of it all.Now he could just be testing the waters to see how much I know and what I would be willing to expose, but he’s definitely keen to the idea of it all...I guess overall I’m eager because I know the power of this property, and the willingness of information he’s been sharing with me.

Not even clear on what all of the data means.

Dominic -I run a design build business; I've been where you are... having books that are weeks to months out of date is horrible and can spell disaster as you make decisions based on bad and untimely data.What we've done, after years of trial and error and tons of money lost on bad solutions, is the following -* Off set accountant who does monthly reconciliations and statements, year-end taxes (We run on basis of completion, which I recommend you switch to immediately)* Off site book keeper who does day to day data entry* Quickbooks on a server on the internet so everyone can log in remotely* Paychex handling weekly payrollDon't pay an accountant to do your data entry, it's usually way too expensive and not necessary... don't pay your data entry person to do your monthly reconciliations and statements (They don't know enough, typically).

We have some that pay with BillPay (some of the cash check places  have that and money orders free, here).One plus Cozy has over TenantCloud is 1099 reporting at year end - TenantClould reports it all as one entity, which Cozy says they'll report each bank account as it's own entity (which makes more sense, if you manage properties for multiple companies or individuals).For  full accounting, I keep it all in quickbooks (desktop - much more capable than the online version), as we have for, well, decades at this point, I guess.There is one free one out there, but I've only just started testing it, Turbo Tenant.

You may want to run various scenarios of appreciation or no appreciation.In all of Denver metro homes have appreciated an average of ~6% a year for the last 45 years (1974-2018 - the data is pulled REColorado).In Denver, home prices have gone up in price all but 4 years in the past 44.

I am not sure what type of leads they have you working on but you can always test it with the less motivated leads vs testing it on hotter leads.

Sorry, if I missed these data points but something isn't adding up here.

Unless I’m seriously out of the loop, you can’t upgrade from Self Employed to Essentials and transfer your data over - SE is a separate product on a separate OS and it’s a bummer.
