I’ve seen multiple cases where online county records do not show everything that is on a full commitment.

I receive postcards and mailers from realtors offering 1% on the listing side quite often.I've also had realtors offer to kick me back part of their commission on the buying side as well.So I know this is starting to become a fairly common practice at least in my area.

I asked Shelter via email, but no response yet.https://www.irmi.com/online/insurance-glossary/terms/c/coinsurance-provision.aspx

There is only so much you could do online to research and educate yourself.

For most of our account holders at New Direction IRA, the criteria that they look for regarding a provider and their IRA lending strategy are these:- Can my IRA's borrower make payments online?

We have a few portfolios of properties for sale, multiple states.Most of the properties are a part of some portfolio.We are trying to sell the entire portfolio, or individual ones.Hopefully someone has gone through the marketing process for a rental portfolio and can shed some light.For now, my plan is to do online marketing (adwords, facebook, bigger pockets).

Nonetheless, good practice and experience. 

@Mckinley baggett My standard practice is to wait 6 months to get the cash out refi  per lender seasoning requirements so I could get the unit appraised and take out the ARV vs. only the initial price.

As @Lee Ripma mentioned "Set For Life" would be a great book to read.As far as choosing the right market... you can read several reports online (just search google for XYZ city real estate report).

I’m looking to open an online account with vanguard, TD Ameritrade, E*Trade, or maybe even the Robinhood ap with my checkbook sdira to buy REITS.
