I'd like to get feedback from your experiences with online and/or local options.

QUESTIONABLE- Best Buy over $1,000 (maintenance visit soon after noticed two new TVs and Xbox consoles in kid's bedrooms) POOR CHOICE- Numerous purchases from online women's store selling wigs, "interesting clothing" & such (yes, we looked up the website) POOR CHOICE- Numerous cash withdraws of $400-$500 at Detroit casinos.

Contact your county tax assessor's office to learn how to find this information (it's usually online and easy).Talk to the neighbors.There are paid apps that may include contact information for specific properties.

@Ian M.For the owners hiding behind the bare trust agreements, you can pull up their names by doing an online search for "David Baines: Real estate investors settle class-action lawsuit" Mr Baines before he retired was a business columnist for the largest newspaper in British Columbia, the Vancouver Sun.In this article you can see the payment the defendants (who I am talking about) had to pay out to the plaintiffs.

I had downloaded all of the ledgers from the online portal .4 days after the relationship ended we started the process of auditing each property.

Every city is different, PLEASE get yourself to a RE meeting, and do NOT try and do all this from books and sitting online, it will not end well. 

They had the property listed on every marketplace, Craigslist, etc. when I called I thought it was FSBO.

You can find templates for joint venture agreements on BiggerPockets or other real estate investment websites.Next, consider joining local real estate meetups or online groups where you can network with other investors.

That is key IMHO.As far as furniture, OfferUP, Facebook Marketplace and Craiglist has a TON of USA made furniture for either free or pennies on the dollar.

Quote from @Emma Johnson: Yes I checked It is listed as an option on their website everything online looks legit.
