Electrical was the worst of it (burn marks in the panel where it had been and still was arcing, bad splicing using cheap extension cords to power fans).  

Simply I DO NOT have more money to burn knowing I have to pay tons to lawyer before they can do a " serious" job for me.I will definitely use those public services like what everyone was saying and definitely use my CC dispute service.

@Pamela Gordon Thank you for the insight, I myself have gotten burned out on doing a couple of rental showings and have either gotten last minute cancelations or no shows.

You will get burned.  

I have a burning question, but I cannot find a straight answer online.So my goal is to have access to MLS, and to find leads for myself and other investors.

And no risk of doing this without a good amount of experience, because index funds like SPY track such a broad number of stocks.Compare that to investing in real estate where the home could flood, burn down, tenants can get injured, contractors can get injured, the neighborhood could become less desirable, etc etc etc.

Also, while the number of people who would invest it and try to make it grow on this forum is probably high, in the general population how many people are going to see the opportunity cost of that money and not just spend it on something foolish because they have the extra cash burning a hole in their pocket? 

Most people won't want an unfamiliar fire burning while they are gone or sleeping.

Do you have $2-3million burning a hole in your pocket?

Just let the house burn down 3 days in and cover all the costs yourself!
