My first year was filled with attending classes (I'm with Keller Williams, and they provide awesome free training to their agents), talking to people (in grocery stores, family, online chat rooms, etc), and listening to Bigger Pockets podcasts as I drove (alone) or walked my dog.Literally in year 3, I started getting repeat clients. 

To build trust in real estate investing, start with learning from books and podcasts, online classes, and by joining groups at local events, real estate meetups, and online chats.

Can do online application via your website, auto generated term sheets and loan docs, and pipeline management.

-I have an online portal that is updated most of the time showing rents paid so the tenants are not the issues.

Just a simple online way to keep track of the loan, that tracks & receives payments, and increases the loan amount each month based on the agreed interest rate etc.I'm going to keep searching online but I'm sure there's a wealth of knowledge here and I'm willing to bet some of you have used multiple platforms.Please let me know if you have advice.Thanks!!!

I was digging online and saw that there's has been a 20% increase in sales price from last year according to Redfin: https://www.redfin.com/neighborhood/288459/CA/Bakersfield/Oleander-Sunset/housing-market

Run your own numbers.Most wholesalers are also online, so you can often find them via Google.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.
