Once I've got a handle on the basic concepts I plan on attending some of the local REI meetings, especially the BP meetups Aaron Yates and Tom A. host. 

To the second, that makes perfect sense, the first transaction is clouded.

In this situation, you'll pay for Wordpress site / hosting (or you could do it yourself) + a monthly IDX fee to the third party IDX provider.IDX providers can sometimes have limitations for commercial real estate folks simply because CRE listings are typically not isolated to the local MLS.

I host a REI meetup every month, my next one is Wednesday, Feb 11th starting @ 7pm at Johnny's Irish Pub on Culver near Merchants.I also highly suggest you check out FFREIA, our local real estate investor's association, you will be sure to gain a lot of knowledge!  

No clouds and asking price $3.1M appraised at $1.7M. 

I also host one on the south side of town. 

Tom N. is one of the hosts, he usually posts when this is occurring a week before on the forums.I am from Canton.

It clouds title which means that just like a lien or judgment, it must be satisfied upon transfer of property.  

In terms of learning a simple step is always listening to the free podcasts Josh and Brandon host. 

We use their website hosting and have had great success with tenants paying online.
