How is your local market faring so far this year? There are so many “things” that affect the market that it’s often difficult to keep up with it all.
Our friends at John Burns Consulting issued their newest building report for January 2010 and offers a ton of detailed analysis about the economic growth, affordability, and consumer behavior to name just a few.
You can browse through a copy over at the main site.
AppFolio is an extremely comprehensive property management software with all the bells and whistles, perfect for property managers who have more than 200 units. My video review is about 32 minutes long but I delve into all the features available, including Craigslist integration, automated work orders, and an extensive financial section with dozens of customizable reports.
Check out the review and take advantage of the Live 30-Minute Demo. If you stay tuned to the end of the video, you’ll also find out how you can get a $67 bonus package.
Ya, you’re not alone. Here’s an email that we got in here at theREIbrain last week that spurred on this review that we’re doing for Freedomsoft this next week:
“Hi Trevor, first, I really appreciate your free content you guys always put out (big smile) and appreciate how you always like to help us real estate investors out. Well, I’ve been getting some emails about a software called Freedomsoft over the past month or so, and it seems really solid, but I’m curious to see if you’ve had a chance to actually use the software to see if it lives up to its hype.
Thanks for the help!
Katherine Blair – Sacramento, CA”
Well Katherine, first… thanks for the email!
Second… yep… we’ve been able to get a preview of the Freedomsoft software package and we’re actually working up a full video review and walkthrough of the software early next week that we’re going to put up over on this page we’re going to house our Freedomsoft Reviews at.
So, if you’re like Katherine and are wanting to be able to look past the hype of Freedomsoft and see just the facts, like:
What’s it do? (and most importantly… what’s it NOT do)
Hows it work? (and how easy is Freedomsoft to use)
What’s it cost? (and how to get more free stuff from your software that the Freedomsoft guys aren’t directly advertising to the public)
What are the pros and cons?
Who the software may be right for? (and who it’s NOT right for. It’s NOT right for me… and I’ll tell you why)
And more…
So, make sure you check out the more detailed review page we have on the Freedomsoft Software … and keep checking in as we’ll update it as the whole “launch” happens to give you an inside peak at bonuses, discounts, etc. that you won’t find anywhere else (oh, and… we’ll show you how to get us, theREIbrain.com, to pay for a full marketing campaign for you of up to $500).

One thing to learn early on as an investor is that no two real estate markets are exactly alike. Sure, there might be lots of similarities between different market inventories or you might notice similar trends to neighboring markets. But nothing takes the place of really knowing the intricacies of your market.
Our friends at John Burns Consulting share a case study below of the major housing markets in the Carolinas and how different trends and factors, such as unemployment, have affected each market.
Times are still tough, just as they were this same time last year, and growing your business depends on making good investment decisions. Pay attention to the economy and signs of improvement before making any big decisions.
Job growth is an important factor in the improvement of the real estate and housing markets. Without jobs, there are fewer adults who can afford to buy or rent homes. Without these adults, there is very little need for new construction.
However, new jobs won’t just appear overnight. There will be a slow upward turn in jobs available and small businesses may have to wait the longest before being financially stable enough to hire new employees.
Many thanks to our friends at John Burns Consulting for sharing this information with our readers. Enjoy!

I recently posted a video review of DC Fawcett’s short sale course. It’s a pretty long video but I really wanted to show you all the components of this home study course so you’d know if it’s a good purchase for you or not.
You can even get a $150 rebate if you purchase the course through my affiliate link but more than anything I want you to watch the review and really decide if you have the money AND the time/energy to put this info to work for you.
We’ve all seen over the past year or two the affects of greed, over-consumption, over leveraged credit (both people and businesses), etc has done on our economy.
But, the thing is… with all of this “bail out” stuff happening… it’s just clouding the whole situation and paving the way for hyper inflation, more job loss, and a weakening of the power of the U.S. as a whole.
I’m not a big politics guy… and am not a staunch Democrat or Republican (both parties are pretty darn corrupt right now)… but this video is something every American should watch. You’ll be pretty pissed at what our elected government is doing to our country… and the future it holds for us, our children, and grandchildren. Whether you’re into real estate investing or not… you’re an American… and we’ve all got the right to know a bit of the shenanagins that are going on in D.C.
It’s 2 and a half hours… but you need to watch it. Trust me.
