With that being said, I'm wondering if anyone out there had any "hacks"...for example using specific software/Google voice/partners.

Learn which neighborhoods command a premium and which will have discounted prices.As another piece of advice for a new wholesaler, I would also recommend being able to at least ballpark rehab/renovation costs.

The numbers worked and after a lot of internal debate, I had to logic myself into a decision: If I bought these 2, I was going to eventually refi and use that money to buy more SFHs anyway BUT the price on these 6 as a package was way better than I'd get in another year on an individual SFH.I was getting a Costco-sized discount for buying in bulk and instead of shying away from the chance, I pooled together the money from friends, family, a HELOC, etc. and went for it.

Looking for suggestions on management software/apps and rent payment options.

@David WilliamsThe issue with bookkeeping is that it is a service that can take a long time(especially if you have different expenses every month) and it is a service that is often not appreciated by the general public.Another issue is that getting a bad bookkeeper will cost more because someone else will need to fix it.You may want to see if you can do the books yourself with the help of a CPA reviewing them on a quarterly basis.There are features within most accounting software's that allow the bank account to be linked to the accounting software.

The difference in premium is only about $250/yr so I am not that worried about the discount. 

@Shaun Sanville, certainly an art versus a science, but I will often take the price per sq ft and use that, but then take a slight discount.  

Our company recently went under contract for 11 acre in Mesquite, TX (HOT MARKET) at what I would think is a steeeep discount..the only way to really know if it's a smoking deal though is to find out if the city will allow us to build.The land is currently zoned AGR-NEC & would like to rezone to SFR or MF to build apartmentsMy concerns are there's large power towers & a small creek running through a portion of the land, don't have a survey on hand either.If anyone has experience dealing with city on rezoning & wouldn't mind dropping nuggets, I would greatly appreciate it! 

I'm looking a recommendation for an app/software/etc. to generate a rehab scope of work (based on physical or video walk thru, ideally with ability to ballpark cost based market norms or user inputs).
