I am looking for more mass platforms, etc

You can probably find this online.

It is at a cost of $40.For Tenant, if they are interested in signing a lease: 1.Fill out preliminary application.2.Verify application for 3 times monthly rent income, pay stubs, no felony, no evictions, at least 1 year on job.3.Query all adult names in state Courts Online system.4.Query Facebook.5.Query County Assessor page for properties in their name (foreclosure?)

Plus the online system they use always alerts you of work orders that have been submitted, so you’re always in the loop.

They will provide an on-line link and a paper application.  

I have recently heard about two programs that say that they can provided me a decent start to real estate investing by offering me access to their learning platforms and potential investors that will allow me to invest with very little or no money of my own.

Should we try online lenders? 

Also, I have no affiliation to any insurance company, but am impressed with lemonade insurance - you should be able to get that quote online.  

analyze 10 deals a day talk to 10 local investors a weektrack units online to find asking price versus sold price read the local news extensively for job, population, and growth newsdriving to a location helps, but not as much as data.

Zillow and Redfin are pretty much everything else I see online.
