For real estate investors, being mobile can make or break your business. Whether you are managing your rehabs, looking for deals or communicating with your team, there is an app that can make your routines easier. These are 10 apps for real estate investors that I have used to help my business grow and prosper. My advice would be to take advantage of as many of these as possible. Realtor.com This is a great app for researching comps. The Realtor.com app compiles data from houses and apartments listed on the internet and puts them in the palm of your hand. The app updates every 15 minutes to keep the listing current. This is an awesome tool for investors who are constantly on the go and don’t have time to sit and do analysis. The ability to do analysis on the move could be the difference between getting a deal and losing one. Sign my Pad Sign My Pad can be useful in many different fields, but it is an especially handy app for real estate investors. There are countless documents that need to be signed. Contractor agreements, buying contracts and invoices are just a few. This app allows you to have pdfs signed right on your phone or tablet, eliminating the need for faxing or scanning. When you are a real estate investor making offers on the go this is a huge time saver. You can have a buying contract signed and sent to your title company in seconds! Red Fin Redfin allows you as a real estate investor to run comps and locate potential deals while on the move. You can view listings on a mini map covering a wide area. You can then compile a list of properties that might meet your requirements. Another feature of Redfin that makes it one of the best apps for real estate investors is the ability to share listings. As a real estate investor you are constantly building relationships and sharing information. This app makes it easy to share possible leads and deals with other investors inside your network. Andrew Cordle The Andrew Cordle app is one way that I am able to share my experiences and knowledge with other real estate investors, and with more than ten years in the industry there is a ton to share. You gain access to educational videos, news, and scheduled events that can help you to grow as a real estate investor. This is one of the best apps for real estate investors who want to continue to grow their business and their understanding of the real estate industry. Bigger Pockets I am a huge fan of this app. Bigger pockets is a real estate investor social media network that is centered on sharing information. Users have the ability to create free accounts which give them access to some...

In order to give everybody the best chance to be successful house flippers, we’ll be discussing 6 steps that you need to take before start. Follow these steps and you can begin building the foundation for a long successful career flipping houses. Step 1: Overcome Your Fear of Failure The number one reason why most people do not get into flipping houses is because of fear. Fear of losing money, fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of disappointing others and fear of change are all very true to most people. This is the cause of many who could be successful in flipping houses never even to try. The most important thing to do to conquer fear is not to quit your day job until you have at least a year of experience under your belt. It’s also important to have at least one year’s worth of salary as a fallback. These sorts of safeguards will reduce the amount of fear in getting started flipping houses. Another great way to overcome fear is to start educating yourself. Get out and start speaking to people who are currently doing it. Once you start realizing that these are people just like you, your fears start to dissipate. Now you’re ready to take the next step toward achieving your goals.

As mentioned in step number one, this is an important part of overcoming fear.

There are rehabbers, wholesalers, realtors, attorneys, lenders and real-estate professionals who meet every single month in your local area. Getting to know these people and seeing how their business works, as well as making some initial contacts, is an important second step in learning how to fix and flip. Some of the best kinds of meetings are National REIA meetings, chambers of commerce and business networking groups. Get out there and start networking! Make contact with people doing what you want to do Attend local and national REIA meetings Step 3: Start Building Your Team This is an area where many people that are new to real estate investing are not so sure about.
