I sent a connect request with a message; let me know if you got it.  

Then, I checked in with one of the guys I connected through Facebook, which was starting and was very hyped up about wholesaling in TX.

I'd be happy to connect!

Their platform is great and is designed to have multiple llcs connected to one login account so you can see everything on the dashboard.

For a new lease, I will need to create a state-specific one through some online entity. 

MLS will give you some, but you can look online to the City's website for the City owned real estate they have for sale, but those tend be up to highest bid.I wish there was a catch-all answer to this question, but there really isn't, because it depends on several factors - like what's your price range, what are you looking to do with the property?

If you do bid online, the sale will still be subject to short sale approval.

I have a treasure trove of information and connections for you.

If you or someone you know has any advice, I would love to connect either over a phone call or grabbing lunch sometime.

Most people who are looking to pay for something that exists as networking online end up not using it and then complaining about.Whatever you pay for or don't pay for, if you try to meet the other people using it or at the meetup, and you do that consistently for six months, things will happen.
