Keeping track of incoming development deals, sites etc?
I wonder what you would recommend to keep track of incoming deals and sites you review and show to partners and investors. How do you keep track of all contacts details, people, letters you send out? Also comments received, your thoughts or agents remarks? It is a quite a volume of information and files.

How to record nice sites you see either walking around or on the internet?

Also what would you think is a reasonable time for a response or feedback for and introduced deal (or viceversa)?

Thanks in advance for any wisdom you may wish to share!

Shake hands with the owners and get information on them when they fall off market plus ask if they will pay a commission. When sales happen just throw current inventory into the comps folder for that street. Often times the Sunday paper is a great place for comps  but you can always pull them from the property appraiser. You want to have the off market sales and know the new owners contact info in case you have a client that wants to do a swap or toss cash at them. New owners typically prefer 1031 exchange or 1031 swaps on higher value properties. But knowing your inventory and the problems involved with each one is as important as being able to make the sale.", "replies": [{"id": "homde32", "text": "Thank you for your tips!
