@Jesse KerrYou can ask them about average sales prices, days on market, housing statistics, age of neighborhood/when homes were built, things like that.If you’re interested in demographics or crime rates, you need to look at sites like city-data dot com or neighborhood scout dot com or local police websites, or whatever you can find online, as agents can’t provide that information to you.

I may adjust up or down depending on the initial repairs that it will take to get the property online and in production.  

Spend the next couple of years studying finances, money management, real estate etc, tons to learn before you begin, and get your own personal finances back on line.

Also, if I am inspecting a tenant occupied property, I most likely, unless if the previous owner objects, I ask the tenant to give me a list of known issues and desirable improvements, written or verbal.Good luck.

Are there free ways to obtain a seller online?

I  Live in Oregon city and I’m in the process of searching for an online course to obtain my real estate license and from there, of course, finding the right path to pursue training/mentorship. 

Just thought I'd mention this because I see a lot of frustration with rental investors using hard money because rental investors look at cashflow whereas hard money looks at ARV; the differing goals/objectives can cause some misunderstandings.The other thing is to make sure you ask about prepayment penalties. 

There are several online schools the offer licensing. 

Do not let a realtor try to convince you that it will be difficult as it is relatively simple, especially if you are buying or selling off market for cash.I downloaded all of the required contracts and disclosures for the state of Nebraska from an online source.

As soon as he told me he was leaving I signed up for an online Real Estate class that day and started taking the class every night when I got home.
