A few read here, but face to face REIAs are where we find the most value.FWIW I've bought about 12 deals off auction.com on-line auctions. 

@Anthony Gallego I'm licensed in both states, though there is no reciprocity between the states, you can take the NY license course online which makes the process a bit easier.

I was living at home right after college, paid my dad $200/month room and board and objected when he charged me while I'm away on my business trips.

You can probably find this online.

It is at a cost of $40.For Tenant, if they are interested in signing a lease: 1.Fill out preliminary application.2.Verify application for 3 times monthly rent income, pay stubs, no felony, no evictions, at least 1 year on job.3.Query all adult names in state Courts Online system.4.Query Facebook.5.Query County Assessor page for properties in their name (foreclosure?)

Plus the online system they use always alerts you of work orders that have been submitted, so you’re always in the loop.

They will provide an on-line link and a paper application.  

Should we try online lenders? 

Also, I have no affiliation to any insurance company, but am impressed with lemonade insurance - you should be able to get that quote online.
