I am new to the BP community and I recently came across Renatus while browsing Craigslist looking for work and replied to an ad for real estate training I've done my due diligence and attended all the webinars only to learn that it costs $125 to get started with the marketing side of things.

Generally these management companies can put you in touch with property owners they know to be "shopping" assets.These businesses also interface between owners looking to develop new properties and VC or other private capital.

Hopefully this was not stated some where else in the forums but I could not find it.I am browsing listings for small multi-family units in the metro Detroit Michigan area and reviewing the stated current rent and NOI.  

I'd also suggest to setup a Chrome extension, the one I used is called "Email Extract", as you're browsing through Facebook Wholesale groups, many of them like to add their email address.

It has a slick interface and is setup like other software as a service options.

@Kurt K.In my opinion, the human interface and actually being on the ground and seeing the properties makes a big difference for out of state investors that goes beyond spreadsheets, virtual analysis and long distance communication.You have a much better objective that factors into whether you want to get in for a short term or long term or get out.It seems that you are leaning on the long term but at least you know the intimate details personally and you have a plan of attack.

I have tried the interface and it's functional; simplistic (read: easy to use), not a lot of bells nor whistles which is good if you're trying to bring up the grading curve in certain areas where cash/money orders/ mail payments are still the primary methods.

One way to begin gathering data is to browse the big listing sites for properties similar in geography, amenities and size to what you envision buying - see what their rates are and check out their occupancy by looking at their calendars.

Also took basic quickbook course on Lynda.com which is $29.99/month for the service https://www.lynda.com/QuickBooks-Pro-tutorials/Qui....I do like tenant cloud vs cozy primarily because of the user interface.
