I attend one in Frederick which is online right now. 

I too, have looked seriously into the many, many, online Real Estate Guru’s that are offering one on one training.

My appointment is with the same lawyer (Jarom Bergeson) .. and I sent him a list as well of options that I found online to get his opinion on the best structure.

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

What is the best way to go about finding these property listings online before they go to the auctions?

- Run a cost segregation study on this property in 2024 and you might have $100k on line 18...Without diving too deep on this post - If you run this scenario as a real estate professional while materially participating in the property, You'll be able to reduce your's and your spouses taxable income that year... 

The benefits of Kissimmee for a newbie is analyzing property potential is very easy - you will have a ton of carbon-copy comps to look at and the online estimators like Airdna can actually be pretty accurate. 

Use online tools like Rent Savvy, Avail, Rent Redi, Apartment.com, Angie, Thumstack.... to manage yourself and learn. 

This way the broker can search hundreds of lenders (Including Easy Street Capital) instead of just hoping that one lender can get you a good deal.A direct lender can work very well for Conventional loans, but if you were hoping to get a good deal I would look elsewhere Or you could search for hundreds of lenders here on BP or online yourself and avoid paying broker fees..
