Commonly used are online resources like zillow, trulia and my personal favorite ******************* (one word) websites.

I have the cash to purchase most of the properties that I want to make offers on and I also have a preapproval letter from a reputable known HML that says that I have more than enough cash for their required down payment and that they can close in 10 days.

Hello everyone,I’ve been checking out this website for the past couple of months and figured it was time to introduce myself.

Found this on a website , don't know if that helps.But have a few qns - if you have a mortgage, deed of trust or mortgage that's filed against the property will remove any anonymity that one seeks.Also don't know if mortgage companies would allow a land trust to hold the title.More informed folks here would know.Edit: duh found this link below, which might answer my own qnhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/71021-land-trust-and-mortgage

For example, many realtors would squirm from having to make low-ball offers, thinking the seller or the listing agent would be insulted or their own reputation tarnished.

Otherwise it can get complicated as you really are putting buyers and sellers together, facilitating sales.You need to read your state statutes very carefully word for word as to what requires a real estate license and then don't do those things if you don't have a license.You can be an employee or memebr in a LLC that buys or sells, as a principal, in other words if BAC LLC buys a property and you are a memeber of BAC LLC, you can then be entitled to profits for the work you perform in that LLC.Another way is for you to take an option to buy and then sell your option, this is placing you in a position of havine an interest in the transaction, but those you sell to may have financing issues with this, it also depends on property restrictions or title limitations as beeing seen as sales during a restriction to conveyances, again check and see how these issues are viewed locally.Generally, you can not act as a third party between a buyer and seller and simply arrange or introduce deals and be paid a fee independly as that is a function of a real estate agent/broker.Lastly, it's easy to get a bad reputation amoung Realtors if you're known as a birddog, they will likely see you as unlicensened competiton and expect them to complain and report your activities.

The websites usually seem quite promising about ones future lifestyle to come, but having paid for a couple of trainings in other real estate areas I"ve become a little more discriminating.

Are there any other websites that are honestly good genuine websites where I could do learn about investing in real estate?

Can you recommend reputable companies for Landlord Insurance?

Thinking of using Michael Quarles & Yellow Letter Mail (couldn't @mention for whatever reason), and a We Buy Houses website with a little SEO to go with it.Thanks again in advance.
