The LP got it from a friend who is in some kind of real estate mentoring program.

And start feeling people out and figure out who’s real and which one of those you vibe with.

@Ryan Daniel  I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection in relation to real estate investments.

Very cool piece of real estate, unfortunately it doesn't even make sense at the $650k asking price.

Real estate is not my of my knowledge base at all but I want to start working on building passive income now (I’m 44). 

I’ve been working with real estate investors for many years, and I’d love to hear more about your goals.

In addition to what was said above, for the software that has a free trial option, sign up for it and use the software for a day (or at least a few hours) as if you are using it for real, then call their customer support too and get a feel for that. 

I have been investing in real estate for well over twenty years and can tell you there are a lot of ways to make money in real estate. 

@Raiyan KhanYou can search these forums for vendor recommendations but you can also join a real estate investment club in the area you want to invest and get the same info.
