Again, I understand the impulse behind wanting direct bookings, I simply think too much money and time is spent in its pursuit.

Understanding your end goal and your buy box to help you get there are incredibly important IMO. 

I highly recommend this FREE tool to find a real estate agent that understands investors.

Understand the status of systems going into a deal especially when dealing with multiple tenants!

Hello Shawn,Congratulations on going under contract.I do not quite understand your question, but if you are asking how to increase cash flow:1) Find out how much tenant is paying in rent.2) Run a rental market comps and find out what is market rent.3) If there is a difference between 1 & 2, then present that to the current tenant and offer them slightly below market rent if you would like to keep them rather then having your property sit on market for 30-45 days to get it rented. 

I don't understand what you are asking.. 

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Set up a meeting with their broker to fully understand the structuring of payouts at closing.

It is what you need to get started, he is quick to reply to questions, and makes it easy to understand.
