Keep in mind site super's or GC in these arenas are out there we can hire them.. they don't need to be principals in the transaction unless some how they are bringing you dirt at such a low value ( which is rare these days)

I'm brand new to this site so any tips/pointers/guidance is helpful!

Should I start out online with Zillow or another site? 

@Tereak Sims Welcome to the site.

The initial goals of the workshops would be to present information to open them into the concepts of using retirement money for investing, and to provide them with the sites of the companies that are admins/custodians of these type accounts, so they can do additional research, and to also point them to the SEC info.In holding these workshops, I'm looking at establishing “Pre-Existing” and “Substantive” Relationships; realizing that this is a long-term strategy.With the idea of it being passive for the investors, my thought is for them to invest in my LLC, and then the LLC buys assets, which I'm thinking to focus on commercial; possibly businesses with strong cash-flow that are also selling real estate as part of the transaction.I'm also thinking, in the workshops, to possibly include those with equity in their properties.

The neighborhoods we are either completely or mostly STR's.If every city did it this way, there would not be so many issues.I think that what is eventually going to happen is that the cities that do it right and that have a reason for tourists to visit will end up becoming much more attractive to vacationers than cities that don't.

Not sure what the margin of error is but the site might supply that.

There is free landlord software out there that can help you to screen tenants as well as market your property to all of the major listing sites.

Looking for a site that tracks previous, not current, building permits.I know I have stumbled on it the past.Thanks

I am excited that there are more resources and networking opportunities through this site then there was when I was trying to fumble through and am excited to glean what info I can from it, and help others when possible.
