I have been researching on line, and have come across information that indicates that the IRS has  a minimum interest rate for family loans that needs to be charged.Can I take a interest free loan from them?

The Florida Bar has free forms online

I use tenantcloud for $9/mo and have tenants pay online. 

@Luke Naylor I still recommend Quickbooks Online Plus.

From there I did as much research online and I went to conferences, I bought courses, read books,I listened to podcasts and youtube videos.A good place to start is with Fuquan Bilal's  book Called  "Turning distress into success".

I have looked at employment and growth rankings online and things like that but I also like to hear it from actual investors. 

@Jesse KerrYou can ask them about average sales prices, days on market, housing statistics, age of neighborhood/when homes were built, things like that.If you’re interested in demographics or crime rates, you need to look at sites like city-data dot com or neighborhood scout dot com or local police websites, or whatever you can find online, as agents can’t provide that information to you.
