@Presh DineshkumarMost of the Plus and Pro membership "perks" are very U.S.A. focussed - even the on-line calculators - and have less practical value to Canadians ... even those unfortunate enough to be stuck in the GTA ;-)Some Plus/Pro features .. such as the search members by zip or postal code now work (sort of) for Canadians (polite nagging can pay off ).If you are a flipper, or offer a real estate related service (architect, trade, etc), then the ability to post advertisements to the Real Estate Marketplace is a benefit.I upgraded to a Pro membership early on to support the site and its growth as I found it to be a credible venue for exchanging knowledge and making contacts with respect to real estate. 

Like you said, @Jay Hinrichs, there's a lot of low value properties in certain areas here, specifically Milwaukee county, but the suburban areas could be a gold mine for an agent, and I know several that do very well.And these are both cash strategies for me, where my money will go as soon as I'm making it is into rental properties, and I currently have different savings categories, with one being the down payment for a first property (assuming I don't find a convenient sub2 or seller finance before that).Thanks again everyone, and happy investing!

I have health issues so most of my work is searching and evaluating props on line.

My offer was accepted, I was lining up contractors and during the close the bank (BOA) offered that if I used their title company (Title 360 Inc), they would pay for my Title insurance (and save me $800). 

THAT'S the sort of savings you're looking for, even if you aren't flipping.Look into FHA203k loans, which let you buy a fixer upper (including the rehab cost) up to a 4-plex, live in one, with very low deposit down.One problem with Wholesaling is: if they're great deals - why would you WANT to sell?

I NEED TO SAVE!

Also have about 2000 saved.

Over the past 6 months I have been saving money for investing and researching everything I can about investing.

I know how it gains you access to the MLS, networking opportunities, increase legitimacy, and save money on commissions (when I do a fix and flip).
