Most importantly is just to go for it!

This brought up an interesting question.... how do I get a lot of information for a particular zip code that I am looking at, or even more importantly, a particular neighborhood that I want to evaluate the potential of. 

This part is time consuming, but it's important.

Starting with legalities is important, having a good Real Estate contract is critical in my opinion.

My question is...If you were to invest your money in a syndication or crowdfund, in your opinion, what are the most important questions to ask or know answers to before investing your money?

To sync airbnb and VRBO you can just export the iCal link for each calendar and import it in each platform.

So your going to hear a lot of different strategies on here however you have to find what works best for you and master it.You will hear all the Millionaire Real Estate Gurus say the #1 most important asset to have in this industry is being able to find deals.In my opinion the fastest way is "Door Knocking" just simply ask the homeowner directly have they thought about or thinking about selling their house period.

In my own case I have the cash; but the re-fi is the 'proof', so I am thinking of doing the re-fi anyway (and paying it off early) it is an important step to demonstrating what a lender thinks of what has been done for the value of the property.

One important thing to investigate is the automated services your brokerage will provide to you for those fees. 

For the right deal the inflated lending cost won't be important.
