Most are set up to help you virtually and will use secure document transfer and electronic communication via email, Skyle, etc to communicate with you.

But I'm wondering if they are as useful and applicable (i.e. the ability to edit) and if there are other more cost effective means to obtain said documents.

Can anyone suggest effective platforms they use and are satisfied with (because the system provides accurate information)? 

Quick sidebar, if the same prospect receives 25 postcards from different sellers all saying the same thing, the message begins to lose effectiveness, and it might be time for the savvy marketer to move to something new. 

Even short term would help, so you can get your feet wet and prove you can run the units effectively.

Yes in theory you can wholesale off the MLS but in today's competitive market it is not a very effective strategy.  

As the property appreciates or rents increase, you can effectively phase yourself out of the property and purchase another, all while keeping the same initial mortgage.Newer investors like this strategy because it allows for a lower down payment versus purchasing a "true" investment property (which usually requires higher down payments). 

If so, that's one less unit worth of rent....but then again, it provides a roof over your head and more cost-effective than rent or owning a 1unit (condo/SFR). 

I've paid over $2,000 to one owner for one mistake.Collect the details of your previous communications.
