Assuming you know the county in question, get onto the assessors web site.

I want to start and have only the basic information I have read on the web.

Then go to your states legislatures and/or insurance commissions web site and read the laws that surround LLC’s and RE insurance policies.

Oh these properties all nationwide, but I look only at OH, PA, NY, WV and yes if possible I would take rural properties.If you wish I can send you the web address.

There are national rates posted on the web, and often the local paper will run a chart with mortgage rates in the Sunday real estate section.The rate you get is going to be very closely tied to your credit score.

I also had to return a small portion back to the buyer.Remember, it is your reputation on the line.

I glance at various areas in Craig's List and occasionally on a couple other areas on the Web.

(Surf BiggerPockets, write down questions I have and research them on the web, read credible and updated books by successful investors, join local real estate communities or groups, attend seminars, find a mentor, etc.)Learn how to read the market, how to choose the best location, how to spot a good deal and a bad deal, how to find contractors, building inspectors, find out more things I need to learn!

I dont think it will kill you this time, but be aware thats the most important due dilligence you can do.I wouldnt do laminate floors, do hardwood.How many reputable contractors came?  

Give them the web address of your application page (as in Cozy) or collect their email address and send them a link (as in SmartMove)?
