For example are you experienced in social media marketing?

Posting on BP and sharing real estate information with your sphere of influence (and social media) is a great way to get started.

I haven't used it and cannot speak to it.Zibo.comThis is another free website where you can collect rent electronically and have an interest checking account.I am still looking at this, because not all my tenants pay electronically. 2 like to mail checks.

There are electronic locks that allow you to set multiple codes.

I highly recommend reading everything you can find, visit some meet-ups and REIA's, network here and on other social media platforms, and find a mentor or do a joint-venture with a more seasoned investor.

Additional background research on this individual revealed he was involved in a rent to own scam in Detroit that received media attention, although I don’t believe he ever faced charges since he simply owned the properties used in the scam.

The media tends to scare people and make them believe that things are actually a lot worse than they really are.

Everyone here will pitch their favorite investment and honestly those answers are worth the electrons they are printed on without looking at the bigger picture.
