To find the right real estate investor group, search for meetup platforms, REIA (Real Estate Investor Association) groups, local brokerages, and LinkedIn events.

I just got an email from VRBO about joining MISTRA. Does anyone have any experience (good or bad)? Benefits?

While there are costs associated with purchasing properties, the platform itself offers free access to property details and market data.

Are there any social media pages they are associated with? 

I'm using a service called 'PetScreening' where the tenant fills out an application on their pet (birth date, shots, bite history, etc) and based on the answers given a 'fido score' is given to help the Landlord figure out the risk associated with the pet and the reasons why the score was given.

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

I have trouble distinguishing which of my properties is performing better and what costs are associated with each at a glance like that though.

That is my fear of getting called due and still being associated with the property after closing.

I'm unsure of what their tool stack consists of but I would presume it to include data associated with an estimate regarding how frequently specific keywords are searched for on these platforms (and potentially broken down by market).

The idea of my thread is to share my experience and check if I can get advice and emotional support from like minded individuals but unfortunately the post was not properly understood and only people who are either PMCs or associated with one have answered.
