Love your focus on multiple markets — Texas, Ohio, and Florida all have such different dynamics, so that’s smart.For tools, I’ve found that combining a solid CRM for leads, PropStream or Reonomy for property research, and networking with local wholesalers and investors really helps streamline acquisitions and deal flow.

Quote from @Joe Steinheiser: Besides just using a spreadsheet, are there any good tools for expense tracking?  

We have been using Appfolio for years and there is only a semi decent CRM for TENANTS ONLY.

I've seen studies that show 72.5% of real estate professionals report increased productivity when using a CRM.There's many studies on this in general but as a Real Estate Agent, which CRM do you use?

I.e 1 call day 1, 1 call day 3, 2 calls after two weeks, 1 call at 3 months (or any variation of this) What CRM have you used to manage large lists of leads?  

Those seem like core activities of operating the properties, not passive “CRM management.”By extension, I’d assume that if those same activities are done through online tools (e.g., using a property management platform to message tenants, coordinate vendors, or manage maintenance requests), they should also count.

👋I’m an investor-friendly agent myself, and I’m always looking to connect with others in the same space - whether that’s to share tools, insights, or find better ways to evaluate deals and support clients.I’ve found BP forums to be an active community, but I'm wondering if there's something else out there. 

Are there any tools that you guys use? 

Between DSCR, bridge loans, and refinances, investors today have several tools to build momentum and scale portfolios.From a lender’s perspective, which products do you see clients using most effectively to grow faster?
