Good Evening guys, i've posted this topic in a few forums looking for as much exposure as possible as i am driven to help out those who have experienced the worst.  

The banks use these services to get the most exposure and best return.

If you are not in a hurry to sell it,use a proper real estate agent.They simply can do it better than you ever could and will get you the most money for it with maximum exposure for everyone to see.If your willing to take less money,sell it to a cash buyer who specializes in one on one sales without using agents and is willing to pay all fees to close the sale quickly.Believe me I know what I am talking about.I almost sold my property to a cash investor who had me convinced my property was junk and only worth 200k.My real estate agent I decided to call at the last minute got me 380k because every investor in Southern California saw it on the MLS and went into a feeding frenzy.Don't sell yourself short like I almost did.

However, you can still set this up now to minimize your tax exposure and still provide your parents a good income stream for retirement. 

I'd like to investigate manufacture homes and multifamily.For about a month and a half I've been mailing to notice of default lists and so far haven't made a deal, and I'll admit it's a little frustrating (obviously, this isn't a very good get rich quick scheme), but it's giving us a lot of exposure to a lot of things.  

I started renting out my spare rooms to get some experience with being a landlord, your path will give you even more exposure!

Otherwise, I thought to get the maximum exposure, I needed to list.  

Or search for a mentor and try my hand at REI, though I will have to start with low exposure deals, as I do not have the capital to support a failed adventure.Ultimately flipping houses and building a portfolio of rentals to create cash flow is the end goal.Lastly I have seen REI's be both for and very critical of being an agent/investor.

If you have time it can't hurt, plus listings are great exposure and experience.  

Another tip to minimize your exposure is to minimize your equity.
