read more10 Awesome Apps for Real Estate Investors
March 9, 2015
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 of the best minds in the business and their ideas. As a bigger pockets member you have the ability to create a blog to share your own ideas, as well as comment and post to forums. This is one of the apps for real estate investors that if you don’t have, you need to have. Houzz Houzz is a virtual idea book for interior design. There are literally millions...

March 2, 2015
I want to introduce a new company for investors. Turnkey Reviews or www.turnkey-reviews.com. Turnkey Reviews is barely a month old and it already has a ton of traction! I know that many of you have had those moments in which you hear about someone else’s new venture and it makes you think, “Dang, you idiot, you should have done that! It was right in front of you this whole time!” Well, Turnkey Reviews was one of those ideas. I remember exactly where I was standing when I heard about this brand new website. Let me tell you “what” and “why” I love this website and company: This website is a platform where other out of state investors can go and research any turnkey company throughout the nation. You can see and read the reviews from nationwide investors. As well as clients that have done business with different turnkey investment companies. There, you will see where investors and clients submit legitimate opinions and reviews. Reviews as to what they either liked or didn’t like about doing business with a specific turnkey provider. It is similar to the popular “Angie’s List” website. Except it will reflect experiences and ratings for each turnkey provider across the nation. Turnkey Reviews will also pull back the curtain on those turnkey providers across the country who provide not only great companies, but companies that have provided unsatisfactory and poor services for their clients. As a subscriber to turnkey-reviews.com, first and foremost, everyone can join for free! You’ll also have the ability to obtain non-sales and objective opinions from real buyers with real experiences! With turnkey-reviews.com, there are no kick-backs or referral fees from any of the providers. This keeps it as objective as possible and is further proof to you, the consumer, that the intentions are for your benefit. So, if you are looking to purchase out of state properties, this is the place to begin your search. No need to be concerned about high pressure sales or random stats! Take a moment now and visit www.turnkey-reviews.com to find out and experience what real customers and investors are saying about the turnkey providers throughout the country. If it helps you avoid a mistake or puts you in touch with a top-notch provider, than it’s worth every second of your time. I can assure you – it’s worth it! ...
