@Christian Wamsley you will have access to shop properties online while you are overseas, but this would just be to keep an eye on the market.

If you are in LA City limits you can find a lot of good info here.http://zimas.lacity.org/And here.http://ladbs.org/If you are in County territory they have info online too.

One is doing a lot of due diligence and finding the very best/most experienced and connected agent in your market to sell your home as soon as you are under contract to buy.

The title rep can give the realtor online access to their title companies online platform whichit makes available to its customers.

So if I get let's say 20 properties, and I'm managing them under some online software system, doing the accounting through quickbooks, should I keep separate bank accounts for each property? 

-I need a painting contractor experienced with plaster repair.

After listening to about 30 hours of multiple podcasts, tons of youtube videos, skimming through facebook groups (which btw; half these people in these groups can barely structure a sentence and are full of online drama), calling these "guarantee you 5+ deals a day programs" and after hearing they require a payment of $5,500 for information I can get for free online, I am a little weary and I'm wondering if this is as easy as 80% of people who are doing it are claiming it be ?

Does anyone have experience with any  rent pay online platforms?

Perhaps someone experienced as @Kim Lisa Taylor.

Knew a very experienced mobile home park owner who ended up being on the council in a small town.
