I signed up for one of the Wealthability online classes.  

At the initial B.O.H. inspection to bring the unit back on-line they determined how many occupants I was allowed.Good to hear you got it resolved with no issue though.

See also http://www.bsc.ca.gov/Home.aspx since it looks like a lot of CA specific code is online.

May be new washing machine hoses, may be all brand new drawer pulls, or a new microwave...whatever.So this year I picked up a couple of dozens of USB wall receptacles from an online sale, and I noticed everyone likes to charge their tablets and phones on the kitchen counter.

If after viewing online I think the property has potential, I ask my realtor to preview the property for me.

While you can meet those requirements online, I would recommend attending live courses - they are great networking opportunities.

I believe options can be had for a few hundred bucks and go up from there, with modest training needed beyond stock buying online.

But for training purposes I agree with John.

You should be able to look the owner up online.

This will do a good job of giving you hands-on training in terms of dealing with tenants, maintenance issues, and the overall pain/pleasure of owning income-producing real estate.
