There may be other issues at play here that have little to do with a lack of experience at real estate tech platforms. 

That also plays a major role in what to do. end of day stocks and real estate over time provide the same return on average - so it is really based on the individual, their experience and desire Thank you. 

I am 14 hours into the 20-hour online course offered by "RealEstateU."

It is a very safe play.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsGreat points - yes many are from here on BP such as a bearded guy, a guy who threatened to sue a LP and still doesn’t respond according to his investors, two other “note funds” one investing in skidrow homes and the other in broadway plays….

Hello BP Community,Unless I am mistaken, Maricopa County (Phoenix, AZ) does not post their probate court records online, unless you can provide specific names or case numbers.

Comps to me no longer play the only role because of rates, seasonality, etc., it definitely fights the arguments on re-fis with the appraiser but I'm noticing there's just a liquidity issue that is skewing things.I try to essentially start at the floor and work my way up on the ARV as opposed to seeing the highs and working it down.

I have more than 20k to play with, just looking for ideas for best use. 

As others have alluded to, buying larger units or a house near the beach is a better play.
