You can easily self manage 1 property with Zillow and Excel.

For analytical activities I still leverage trusty Excel and other data crunching tools. 

False Sense of Security: The imputed credibility touted by Santarelli from his 2004 founding of Norada Real Estate Investments, which does not raise money, but has a functional and, to his credit, impressive website.

EXCELLENT response to the question. 

Excellent point and I am not even a foodie.

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it! 

I'm aware of your investing initiatives as we are part of the MTR investor group that meets every Friday, which is excellently run by you.

You can find excellent resources on YouTube, BiggerPockets, and through local REI meetups.

This does not give you any credibility but just makes you look silly.

@Vhernadette SasingI would look into finding an excellent operator and invest with them passively.
