$100 and an on-line form is all you need to register, and you can use whatever boilerplate set of documents you like for organization.

I just want to say most of my tenants would not be able to pay online because of their age.

A lot of people are making a lot of money doing deals over the Internet. Specifically, wholesaling.  Does anyone have any experience with this? Any comments?

As the market begins to soften up, interest rates rise and new inventory comes online CAP Rates will start rising again.

:Hello all, Upside of local investment is that it appears “safer” - I know the market, I can drive to it to make sure no one “Morris”ed me, and when the time comes to sell / 1031 - hey, it’s easy, and it most likely will come with good appreciation (I know, appreciation is not guaranteed; it’s icing on the cake).Edward, it might feel safer to buy locally but if your local market doesn't fit your objective, that's not safe.

I've taken an online course and some webinars, but think I would greatly benefit from an actual book. 

Over the past couple years I have been looking at SF and MF houses online and evaluating the deals so that when I’m able to make the purchase I can quickly see if the property is a good deal and put my offer in.

Apart from that, I'm trying to read books, and finding some online information on real estate investing. 

They have knowledge/experience that I don't and they are a second set of eyeballs with objectivity on their side. 

Although, I do run them through the free Iowa Courts Online system.
