My website is plugged into the same software VRBO is integrated to and they have a way of seeing that the person perhaps inquired through VRBO and ended up booking direct.

I personally wouldn't buy a 2 bed house for $100k all in in Detroit.

I always recommend a sewer scope and definitely get them on my personal deals.

Personally, I would put most of it in passive real estate syndications - but I am a full time passive investor so that makes the most sense for me.The first decision you would need to make from my perspective is whether you want to invest passively or actively (your profile says rental property investor, so I would assume you are currently an active investor). 

Personally, I wouldn't throw out a complex structure to the seller right out of the gate.

I wouldn't say you're going to learn as much going through an online course as you would an in-person one, but it is a lot more convenient.
