Loans from the FHA, online investment groups, middlemen, rent-to-buy deals, ready-to-rent homes, and borrowing from private lenders can cost less at the start, grow in value, and give you a steady flow of money.

I pulled a free environmental report on NETR Online and it didn't show anything concerning.

Just go to any one or all of the major online real estate sales websites and utilize the filters to narrow your search parameters.If none show up, you may have to widen your search or expand the parameters.

I've wondered if for example it even makes sense on a NNN retail building.Maybe if your CPA can do it cheap as part of their tax return service fee for you.Hopefully just your normal straight line depreciation is the way to go, but check with your CPA and see if they think it is worthwhile for you.   

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.

During this 30-day period, agents should be able to: set goals for themselves; set up their MLS; add their sphere/ALL of their friends, family, acquaintences to a database; begin calling/contacting everyone in their database; begin generating leads from other sources like cold calling, expireds, fsbos, social media, open houses, etc; begin tracking KPIs; create or refine online profiles; create and post social media content; attend role play sessions to work on lead generation/conversion skills & more. 

Which doesn't really make sense as most banking transactions are completed online at this point. 

This is typical of retail transactions with conventional financing, and that's why CASH IS KING when it comes to investment properties on the scale we are talking about. 

Also (very important) when STR online portals (Airbnb/VRBO etc) will collect tax and send it to your local govt along with the address for which it was collected.

If you bank at a retail bank it's likely that you could pull a cashier's check to provide  certified funds.As to the wisdom of using other people's money (that you are solely responsible for) you'd better be comfortable with repayment even if things don't work out as planned.
