That is the safest and easiest way to start in RE.

I had been using Stessa, which I really loved, but it is buggy and the banking connection to Chase was continually breaking, which I needed to re-connect, but when I did that I had to go through 200+ transactions and re-allocate the expenses. 

They tend to get people to attend their seminars that have no understanding of RE Investing and think that they have to "pay to play".  

I have quite a bit of experience in real estate and RE management, I hope that's is where I can be an asset to some of you all.

Hi, I am considering to join an online RE course.

It never hurts to get re-advised on such things so I really appreciate you getting back to me with such a detailed response.

I've been listening to the BP podcast and reading up on RE investing for almost 6 months now and I feel ready to jump in, but I'm hesitant with the current sentiment about rates.I'm looking to invest both in and out-of-state here in Vermont.

It's the one-year required management agreement at 10% that can get you (although you can re-up the following year at a discount if you pay the entire year at once).What you definitely need to avoid is leasing through them, should your property become vacant.
