@Nevin WilkieGreat tips from @Matthew Becker.

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.

Any tips on how to maximize my time on this platform are greatly appreciated! 

I use DealMachine, and I'm happy with it (I read the instructions you provide at the site, so I actually wasn't surprised by anything).

This is probably a place where you go to one of the personal loan sites to borrow money or maybe a credit union. 

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Some do virtual things some are more on site. 

Which sites do you recommend for pricing? 

If there are changes you want to make then send your tenants official notice of those changes via in person delivery or certified and regular mail along with a copy of the new lease.

You can easily look them up on the NMLS site  https://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/EntityDetails.aspx/COMPAN...
