or can I effectively research homes online?

You can do these on some online software or you can pay for them.   

@Eric Lee Nation    I did ins claims in another life for 14 years - I do not recommend that EVER as someone's employment but I did learn a few things.Here's 2 things agents or no one will tell you -- your Replacement value (RV) on the house is JUICED up way higher than what's realistic -- however you have a relatively inexpensive house so it's not much of an issue - but typically the reason they juice the RV is to get your wind/hail deductible higher -- typically 1%, 2%, 3%, 5% of RV is what your wind/hail deductible will be even if you had a $1k or whatever other deductible they offer for any other peril -- so follow me for a minute - you bought a rental for $150k -- they've juiced the replacement cost to $250k the most likely loss in KS or the midwest in general is going to be wind/hail --- the math actuarial nerds do this so the casino or the ins company in this case has the upper hand -- do the math what a 2% or 3% deductible on a $250k house will be -- I have a commercial building insd for over a million -- the lowest wind/hail ded they will give me is 5% -- the only reason I have ins at this point is I'm required to -- the wind hail coverage is worthless to me with as high as the deductible is.Anyways with that out of the way - ask your agent if you have a 3% option - at that RCV cost they figured of $99k that wouldnt be much different than the $2500 all perils coverage you have now -- Also I'd wager as someone mentioned dropping the med payments to others coverage -- it probably wont make a bit of difference in your policy cost -- I could be wrong - but I'd guess $25-50 dollars a year -- your coverage is the price it is due to the perceived wind/hail risk the company is putting on KS.I'm with Big Red and have been for a # of years -- your price to insure that house is on par with what I get from them for that replacement cost -- though i think State Farms game is a bit different they really jack up the Replacement cost so I have higher wind/hail deductibles -- I'd make out good if the house burnt down or a tornado destroyed it - but for a hail claim there wouldnt be much there.

Hey guys, forgive the ignorance, im new to real estate and would like to get my feet wet, looking for info online i stumbled upon wholesale real estate investing, I live in Phoenix,Az where the market is ridiculous at the moment, is it even possible to find a good deal and sell it as is to investors to make a profit, where do you even find these hidden gems, Im in the car business and whole sellers buy at dealer auctions (need license to access) and re sell for profit at other auctions.Not looking for real estate agents so please to send me messages marketing me.

Have your tenant make the checks out to the LLC, set up a bank account that will allow for electronic deposits and online payments, and run all of the rental business income and expenses through that account.

We do 10 meetups a week. 3 are in Charlotte Physically on Wednesdays, and the rest can be heard and seen online etc.

@Sam Westfall I am doing school online , renovating a house I bought, and working full time, I can’t say I recommend it but you can do that too if I can

My first goal would be to automate a majority of the processes such as lock codes, online portal to schedule visits, tours & payments, submit questions.

There are so many options and many have similarities as far as commission splits and training at least what they advertise online. 

I know, it’s rude of me to do such a thing, but had no better idea what to do.Well, the thing is that the guy owes to his bank thousands of dollars as he kept depositing money to various online casinos.
