"Desktop" software is nearing obsolescence, except in the professional grade (think advanced publishing, video production, web development, etc).

I loved the story about him being grateful for REI working out so that he could be self employed because his worst fear was being caught in rush hour LA traffic with a giant cup of coffee and a bran muffin.

Some popular areas won't advertise online because they don't have to - enough traffic to get it rented by people traveling past the house.

For example, in Atlanta, 30 minutes from the city might as well be 2 hours in traffic -- most people who will live there won't work in the city and incomes/rents will tend to be much lower than areas closer to the city.Not saying this is the case with the place you're looking, but just a counter-example to your assessment...

I studied web desing/coding, photography and other digital media stuff, so if you need help with any of those areas id be glad to help!

Check out the local real estate investor's association (REIA) meetings for your area...a quick web search will point you in the right direction.

Whereas a lot of leads through the web will be great for Sub2 deals where as it's hard to target owners with equity, therefore, some of those deals will be better suited for sub2.

This structure particularly makes sense for multifamily and commercial property, where there is a lot of daily traffic by many individuals.I'm an accountant, but I'm not YOUR accountant.

I went on the web and found the program.

There is also the Boston Area REIA in Medford (Which happens to be on Thurs the 17th) which is local though you'll fight some traffic.
