Is there a hospital or a college around?

I've found deals in local online groups on Facebook, simply asking people for what I want. 

Tell the lender you want a construction loan online of credit.

About an about a week ago I  searched online to see if there were other real estate forms that might be interested and didn’t come up with any that seemed any better.If I see someone, there’s exceptionally hostile to others it makes me a little more hesitant to interact with them.

Just shop around online, look for properties similar to yours, add them to favorites and watch them to see how long it takes for them to rent.

But I've hit the annoyance factor most reach in their 50s when owning rental properties about 20 years sooner.I am at work coordinating inspections and post inspection, was the appraisal done and could you email it to me, this lender gave me a 3.25% rate while you locked me at 4.0% LOL all of this and I haven't even started receiving a dime of cash flow.Illiquidity is the best feature of passive real estate investing, the 2nd feature being diversification (among asset types, exit strategies, sub-strategies, geography, risk, sponsors, etc.) you cannot do this if you are actively managing rentals.When you are 65-75 years old planning your estate, do you want to leave your heirs (who probably don't know or don't want to know anything about real estate) a bunch of physical houses, tenants, property managers, mortgages, online logins, LLCs, etc.

Unfortunately, while all the online places area great sources of information, you are much less likely to take action, or find someone to shadow, when online in a forum.
