You’ll need to pay MLS dues for access to MLS which in some areas requires NAR/ board of Realtors membership (~$2,000/yr in my market).

I recently purchased my home in October 2023 (before starting my real estate investing journey), so I don’t yet have access to any substantial equity.

Your first step is to contact a savvy CPA.You, as a Member of an LLC, by virtue of the LLC records provisions in the LLC law, have as much disclosure access, and more, than a shareholder of a public company.  

Because there are nuances to seller financing, a lot of space would need to be devoted to covering the subject to make sense, and that requires sitting down to a cup of coffee for a long discussion.

There were lease violations disrespecting the other neighbor's leased space and harassing the other neighbor and they smoked in the property against lease, lied about conversations, has made up stories about plumbing issues that plumbers couldn't find causes to, tried to get a dehumidifier and force me to pay, accused me on two different occasions very agressively in regards to the heat/electric service.

For reference, we're heavily involved in the co-living space, which is an unorthodox strategy but can perform exceptionally well with the right property and systems in place.

.: Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I think it lies in that a lot of service providers in the real estate space are incentivized(money wise) to promote thier business.Real Estate agents are a small business, the more clients they have, the more money they make.Property managers are a small business, the more clients they have, the more money they make.Lenders, correct me if im wrong, are tied to some sort of bonus structure, the more loans they generate, the more money they make.More promotion leads to more awareness which leads to more money With all do respect I think REA's are commissioned sales people.

Quote from @Richard Volkov: I came across a new idea in the real estate space that’s worth discussing.

I'd like to bring him in to assist with the renovation expertise as well as access he has offered to his labor pool.
