Currently I am on MIBOR's Economic Community Development Council where we get to learn and help fund non-profit organizations that are improving our communities.

What we did have in the way of real estate “education” was (1) the book “HOW I TURNED $1,000 INTO ONE MILLION IN REAL ESTATE IN MY SPARE TIME” by Bill Nickerson, (2) education provided by organizations to qualify for real estate brokerage licensing and (3) courses in real estate offered by collegesI found that because of the type of education provided we were much more knowledgeable about real estate FUNDAMENTALS, FINANCING, AND LAW than investors are these days.  

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Too few details to answer (Of course this varies county by county, all questions could be answered by reading the (zoning)/building code and/or clarified with a visit to the county planning office).but some clarifications because: lots of things are "tiny homes" but what you describe small houses "on permanent foundations" needs to be clarified , tiny homes could be:-stick built, see below. check your county code/planning dept-stick built cabins/recreational, a specific zoning and potential occupancy/etc restrictions but worth looking into where the zoning allows for it -hud manufactured homes (smaller singlewide perhaps 400sq ft 600sq ft minimum)-non-hud park models (on axles), ansi standards- other "RV's" built on a chassis:  organizations, state agencies, etc - will certify factory built (or sometimes inspected professional built) tiny homes on chassis - to whatever standards ansi, riva, dot/ l&i?

If you walked up to Michael Jordan and said, "I want to learn sports" he would walk away.

I am looking to start off house hacking but with so many listings I would like to know if there are some strategies for organizing home information (real estate software, excel set up, hand written, etc).

OK after an expensive lesson Reipro lead generator data is pretty sad I apologize for even bringing it up, But the added perks like contracts and organization tools are cool.

I did not understand when I joined that the Womens organization had two men as owner/ leaders? 

We still get quite a large number of bookings on our own site, CabinsNearGatlinburg.com, and the percentage of direct bookings is getting larger again, after declining for the last several years.We rank fairly high on several key words, so we are getting a fair amount of organic traffic.
