Something that i can easily access when needed and take notes from.

Something online?

Access? 

What online classes or books have you read to help you get started?

Do you have MLS access and can you find comparable sales?

Forms are available online, or, from a Title Company or Attorney. 

my property manager has been an excellent resource for setting an appropriate rental rate, as his years of experience exceeds anything I could estimate via online resources

I also when its someone new .. will google street view.. get the person answering the phone to describe what her office location looks like  or I will say hey is that a McDonalds across the street from you when I know its a burger king.. then the other thing I will do is make them recite some information on the hud that a scammer would not have access to.you simply cant be too careful.. millions of dollars a day are being lost in this manner. 

Compare the profits from flipping (accessing the equity) that you could have right now, to your monthly CF (total).How long would it take your cash flow to equal your equity?

I do some research online.
