Hi All,As far as finding deals there are million ways to do so: direct marketing, using locals, real estate agents, contractor tips, foreclosure ads and on and on.If I'd wanted to start on a certain channel. let's say website browsing, which one would you recommend ?

Browsing through the website has been a great educator for me as well for my plans to invest in real estate in the future. 

I have been browsing through google and yelp reviews but I see good and then I also see the bad reviews in detail description.  

You should  browse around various lenders to see the interest rate that they offer and what your maximum borrowing power is  so that you can filter out the higher price ranged properties (try to know how much of a down payment you think you will have by then as well). 

Also interfacing with a realtor listing can cause some potential misunderstanding of an assignment of an agreement and brokering a property. 

As I browse Zillow for properties in Baltimore, MD, I see many houses with multiple bedrooms, selling for under $150,000 with mortgages of less than $700 a month.

Browse through 100.

But they have all standard reports that are easy to understand and interface is user friendly.Hope this helps. 

Get a good QI on board and interface all of you together as you go forward. 

I would second much of the specific advice given and would just generally add that getting a book or two on landlording (or creating your own reading list by browsing many of the blogs, forums and podcasts on BP) might be a good introductory education on landlording.
