Some people scoff at the costs of pre-license coursework, MLS and REALTOR memberships, and classes such as the GRI that I'm taking, but where else can one get this level of knowledge for $2000?  

Granted, I’m new to AirBNB but have done a ton of research into short-term rental and can offer some tips on dynamic pricing, calendar and property management, if you’d like :)What I’ve done is watch TONS of BP podcasts multiple times, signed up for a membership so I can use their calculator software, bought some books and done some networking...

@Jimmy Ready The Pro membership of rentometer has a more detail summary of the comps by property type and addresses included. 

biggerpockets.com/pro just shows me my membership vs the other options.

Hello BP membership,I have been doing a lot of research on buying and building my portfolio in the last 6 months or so.

Many locals I speak with there didn't realize you no longer need a membership to come up, but we are open to the public.

And it would cost pennies (as part of your membership)

Generally, I highly recommend using the awesome tools provided here on BP.A few more tips to get started: Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area.Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you.Read Beginner’s Guide.Check out BP Podcasts.Find upcoming real estate events and meetups near you.Upgrade your membership to search for members near you to meet on- or offline.

If you are looking for investors, go to your local REIA and/or get a PRO membership and post in the marketplace. 

So it is permissable to purchase 100% membership interest rather than the property itself.
