Not trying to promote it, just offer a few resources. 

Must reads are Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cash Flow Quadrant, The Millionaire next door,  Millionaire Real Estate Investor, The E Myth, The One Thing...for starters! 

This may be a stupid question but what is the main difference in getting an O&E report versus a Full title search?  

Would you recommend creating a website using e lance?

Nicer homes usually bring a lower %, where C/D/E class neighborhoods will bring higher.

After reading the free e-book, I would like to get back into real estate.

That goes from the Schedule E's to the S corporations, etc.,  You better know what your doing. 

For example, professionally, we should assign each transaction as a Schedule E, and get into all that big heavy duty stuff using Schedules and depreciating, etc.  

It is my opinion that social media actually makes promoters more accountable because our profiles are so public and always on display for the world if you are going to play in the space.  

I have to get better at raising money, although I don't promote it as much as I should and I haven't had a need to tap into my small list of "private money lenders" (that's what I call them instead of investors because I only want debt partners currently) for various projects.My bigger issue is making sure my overall capital reserves remain high for each property.
