Apps for Real Estate

Top Five Apps for Real Estate Investors

Life has become much easier with smart mobile devices and there are a ton of terrific apps out there that can help your business flow more smoothly.

Here are my top five mobile device app recommendations for your real estate investment business, and why I think you should use them:

1.  CardMunch

What Is It:  From the developers at LinkedIn we’ve now got CardMunch. CardMunch allows you to take a pic of business cards and send them in for processing, where real live people transcribe them into a database and return them to you for implementation into your digital phone book of choice.

Why You Should Use It:  Networking is imperative to business growth and business cards are still the number one way people use to share their contact information. Next time you attend a conference or real estate networking event, you can gather up those cards, scan them into CardMunch, and start networking with those folks online.

Cost: Free

2. Property Evaluator – Real Estate Investment Calculator
