@Sam Peterson You can utilize different online companies (web, phone apps, etc.) for this but if you're new to REI you could gain traction by making your own.

I can't seem to find much info online about this and I've had trouble finding contractors willing to take this on

Without being a licensed mortgage professional some of these tools would not be available or more likely at the disposal of the marketplace and the 'research' or relationships they've cultivated with statistically limited mortgage experience..even as a professional great mortgage brokers and companies are hard to find...With 65%+ of residential transactions still involving a loans, real estate professionals with expertise in real estate financing will deliver enhanced value to their clients.  

Facebook Marketplace and CraigslistDon’t underestimate the potential of social media and online platforms.

By Thanksgiving (most even sooner) all will be back online. 

Networking Opportunities: Are there local networking events, conferences, or online forums where I can connect with other investors and professionals in the Edmonton real estate market?

But, excel is totally fine in the beginning (in addition to your PM software to capture transactions outside of the properties).We use QuickBooks Online exclusively for all of our REI Clients.

I'm not sure what you'd learn that you can't find online.

Can anyone tell me where I go online to research what the law is in the states that are relevant to me? 

I wish I could just get a single link that I can put on my renal listings online and say "apply here by clicking this link".
