Even with my former partner (who was our 'PM / GC' on site for our projects), it was sometimes tough navigating the process, managing budgets and costs, and keeping everyone in line, including him. 

There was a site I listed a house on to sell via bitcoin in 2014, no luck but I am sure there are other sites in 2017 or more than a few who would take bitcoin as trade. 

But I also love the idea of investing in real-estate and utilizing its tax benefits I have read around 10 ish books or so and the one I am reading right now recommended this site I am looking for some advice of things I can do to either prep for an investment into real estate and or do right now.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Zach EdelmanBe clear BP does not recommend companies - companies pay to advertise on BP and while BP I assume vets them - it’s still buyer bewareI am not an employee of BP but I want people to understand on BP and on most sites there are sponsors and affiliates but they may not be thoroughly vetted.

They require a site plan to get that started.Has anyone had any experience with this and have done it successfully?

Alerts I set up through sites like Realtor.com or Zillow. 

This is where the crowdfunding sites helped a lot fo those types scale.

@Chris KellyFind an on-site 3rd party to corroborate.

Denver Creative Housing, Denver Sublets, Roomies, Roommates, and so on, there are a few good ones)Also, I use Roomies as well because it is a site specific to finding roommate tenants, and there is a huge demand for it as well, so it is a great alternative to fill vacancies for houses if your owners are open to it and you price it correctly. 

I've heard of mentees who started cleaning up construction areas on a flip at the end of each work day or picking up supplies at Home Depot and delivering them to the job site.
