It takes 30-45 days, can be done online and needs to be renewed annually.

As of now, my general plan is to find a local realtor online who is experienced with real estate investing (and has investment properties of their own) to help me find a good local deal (goal is 20-25% return on ARV), get a hard money loan, aiming to rehab/repair/extend the property with my father (both have construction experience) within 4-5 months, and as for the loan exit strategy either sell or rent (depending on the deal). 

Books, videos, blogs, and podcasts are all viable options but how much time would I need to devote to this and how much conflicting information is out there?

Hi all - We have several rentals and we just created a couple LLCs, no website yet though and when I went to register our business with a Google Business Profile they asked to verify using a video.

I think marketing is the key before you even get started with a home at least thats what I'm seeing from various comments and also Youtube videos.

The maintenance request feature is awesome and does allow pictures (not sure about videos).

If you haven’t already, I would check out Sean Terry’s YouTube video with Bob Diamond on wholesaling apartments.

Good opportunities, early stage opportunities, may not have the best online presence, but be otherwise legitimate.Also IRR is a vanity metric, it's the wrong measurement.

There are many forms you can get for free (or purchase) online for your specific state. 

Invested $40,000 with the online store.
