Aloha all !!

I am new to biggerpockets, but I do watch the youtube videos that come out and the other videos such as #askbp. So I am asking how does one get started in REI? Do you need to set up a team of realtors to check out the MLS or would you use those sites like Zillow or redfin or realtor.com to look for homes and comps? What do you suggest?

@Ryan Ingram By default Craigslist displays ads in a gallery or list format. You can change this to "map" which will display everything just as you are used to seeing it with the other sites. Then to filter you just type words like "duplex" or "4 units" in the search bar. Craigslist is crucial as many of the ads are off market deals not listed on the MLS.
