I have a prospective tenant that is a little older that does not have email/internet access and I would need to enter their info and run it myself. 

This downturn is probably seasonal, but the trend overall is up.As always, don't trust the internet, seek professional advice.

Are you saying no internet access or just no wifi?

It is 2018 you can find anything on the internet.  

Does the monthly rental fee generally include utilities, internet and cable or do the tenants pay for that independent of the rent?

Trust me, they will not turn away a paying customer the next day and there's a 99.9% chance the same deal they swore would expire, will not have expired if you still want it.Another thing you could do, if it's just a "course" you'd be interested in buying (as opposed to a boot camp or mentoring program), is not buy it at the event, but ask around in your local REIA or post on the Internet to see if there's anyone else who bought the course and doesn't need it any more, who'd be willing to sell it cheaply.

Today we have the internet, with mountains of data available to us like never before.

Since then, I had him as CPA, now going on for 30 years.When I didn't have a CPA, with several businesses, you often have a accounting and tax question, and I try to look it up on the internet, ask friends, not always to best way to get the best answer.

You'll be paying higher insurance for short term rental property, cable/internet, lawn care,  utilities, permits and furnishings.

Nothing happens to you if the tenant uses your internet to do something illegal.
