Regardless, @William Godbe, the key take away here is to talk to the right subject matter expert who can tailor a solution to your particular situation.

I feel like after reading a couple of books the overarching mentality, techniques and methods on real estate investing would become repetitive but i also want to do my due diligence and get smart before rushing and failing at my first real estate investment. 

I could also tailor my building for highest and best use in my market area, such as capitalizing on an under supply of 1 bed or 2 bed apartments. 

Does anyone have any recommendations on software or techniques one can use in order to speed up the process? 

My understanding is that the mentorship information that you'd be paying for is largely generic, but maybe tailored a bit for individual state laws.My comments are not based on actual experience from any "apprentice course", but mostly from the cautionary tales I've read on many different threads here on BP. 

You are definitely on the right site if you wish to network with other investors, learn new techniques and strategies, and get a sense of direction in real estate investing.In my years perfecting and sourcing undervalued real estate for immediate resale, I have discovered that sending out blind offers to owners has garnered me the most success. 

So there are multiple benefits to contacting the listing agent directly, 1 I don't flood my agent with petty questions, 2 It is much quicker to ask the questions that are missing from the listing. 3 I can tailor specific questions per property. 4 There is no back and forth which limits misunderstandings.

Brandons book on no and low investing does not go into much detail at all about legality and techniques and most videos do not either.Thoughts from experience?

The attorney's estimate apparently was boilerplate, rather than tailored to my actual closing.
