HomeAway are doing away with their different subscription model and going to have one subscription rate ($3??) 

I paid $8.99 for a 3 month subscription, and I discovered a very good NY Real Estate Salesperson study guide.

Eviction, Probate, Quit Claim deeds, 65 older .Your is SoCAL so head over to Property Radar and get a month subscription . 5,000 leads for $40 bucks a month.

I've thought of subscribing to Angie's list as a source for contractors and was going to ask the BP family what they though of that, it's specific to each area and those contractors who subscribe certainly care about their reputation and want continuous work so in my mind it's not a bad option (and the yearly subscription is not expensive at all). 

The result is that whereas 5 years ago passive investors expected little more than an investment summary, investors now expect (and demand) a private placement memorandum, subscription agreement, attorneys opinion, tax opinion, and full compliance with the securities regulatory environment, even on smaller deals. 

lead generation, insurance, license, MLS subscription, EKey (allows you to get into houses)subscription.

subscription based at foreclosehouston.com not free but not expensive 

I can't stress enough - if you're considering investing in a partnership, read the PPM, operating agreement, and subscription agreements cover to cover.    

do you need to pay for some subscription ? 

I'm intrigued by the Legal Zoom programs as they seem to offer unlimited 30 min consults for a monthly subscriptions of $25.
