There are plenty of entry roles from cold calling, scrubbing data and find deals for investors, leasing assistant, work on construction sites, office admin, project coordinator, Title assistant, RE photographer, transaction coordinator.. on and on. 

They asked how we got a hold of a site from a private listing.

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

The land assessment value is on the tax assessor's site in every county, but that doesn't hold a ton of relevance in my opinion.

I have a 35 unit townhouse site that we entitled and will probably sell.

I use DealMachine, and I'm happy with it (I read the instructions you provide at the site, so I actually wasn't surprised by anything).

I have a mix of MTRs, STRs, and a room rental and I can perform all the needed property management and bookkeeping features on the site. 

You can easily look them up on the NMLS site  https://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/EntityDetails.aspx/COMPAN...

A great REALTOR will help you gather rental history and the cost to own and show you good sites for pulling rental projections, but you will need to do your own calculations.Everyone's mileage varies.

One thing you might think of doing is having and promoting your own website to avoid the exhorbitant fees charged by the third party sites such as Expedia, Booking.com and Air BnB.
