BP has a lot of great material for beginners to include free books and podcasts not to mention all of the content on the forums.

I would not suggest building a spec home, as prices of permits, labor, and materials are such that you can hardly build a new house for much  less than you can just buy one for....

Was just checking if anyone had some good material.

About 3 years ago I wrote my first material only order for over $10MM.

REI meetings`and materials appear to be the most popular, the organization is well established in the investor trenches. 

I there anywhere you can just get a template for all materials/set up that kind of thing.   

And that includes behind the scenes research of everything in and about the deal, and is responsible for disclosure of all material facts of the property, known or unknown to all parties.For marketing, the MLS strength is in its accuracy and ability to link agents together across their market and this is very powerful.

There are definitely 2 tenants there if not all 3, I haven't spoken to the listing agent directly but just gathered some info from online and from my realtor friend who told me about it to begin with and forwarded me the marketing materials (which didn't mention occupancy, we just saw cars parked at both ends implying someone at two of the three units).Thanks for any insight and info!
