I'm a young investor/wholesaler who spent a brief time learning the real estate market in Cincinnati.

Hi Ralph, I would look online at your county recorders website and see if you can get them online, if not, then I would go to your to their office physically and request the information.

Most of the information I found online for private money lending is related to lending the full amount for the house/renovation.

The screening can be tied right to an online application (which could be tied right into marketing / listing website) - making the whole process pretty painless.  

Find out if the team leader provides training, or if they rely on the online courses for training.  

I suppose a lot of this will depend in part on what I'm able to find on line as far as opportunities.

First mistake, provided a free incentive to please and secure your tenant, you should always stick to the rules, you must charge accordingly, always enforce pro-rated terms, if/as stated in your contract ease terms.I always like to say that an exception, quickly extends into the rule (As a general rule of thing, we absolutely do not bend on any rule and enforce every element (within reason))Another view is that if you are the individual, the owner, the landlord, the point of communication, it is more difficult to distance yourself from the emotional element, sometimes the emotional attachment to the asset, will shut down your business side of thinking for a brief weak moment, you must restrain from that.

Personally, I chose an online school for licensing, the School of Hard Knocks and a mentoring relationship with my principal broker/brokerage (when I have a question I ask it), and as a reward I am learning really fast.

BP also provides free online videos and educational courses for you to watch and learn from.

Most of the online classes require frequent authentication to note that you are spending the required time on the material so audiobooks may not be an option.
