I did some LVP on garage stairs and platforms just to dress them up a bit.

@Nathan ChristensenI do not recommend auction.com as a purchasing platform UNLESS you know that you are going to place an incredibly low bid and be disciplined to stick to that low number.

Create thought leadership platforms, like podcasts, blogs, YouTube channels, and meetup groups.Talk to as many as people as possible about your real estate investing business.

@Khory Minor I use Tellus for my tenant screening, they cooperated with a third-party platform for tenant screening and it's totally free.

Place ads on every platform available where home buyers could be looking for an inexpensive home so you can perform a true test of the market demand. 

I am new to the BP platform and there's so much information, but I am definitely looking forward to learning as much as I can to obtain my financial freedom goals through real estate!

None of that matters until you find a legit deal.Start now talking to sellers and learning how to solve their specific problems with real-estate-based solutions that can actually make you money.

Some people use PMs, some people use software platforms for rent collection with a list of contractors they use, and some people do it all themselves. 

This platform can be such a beautiful thing when used right, and yet people turn it into this.

My property management company has started to make tenants register their animal with petscreening.com, it's a 3rd party platform that will do all the work for you at no cost to you.
