For the Sales Associate exam, I believe you can do the course work online.

I have no idea what I'm doing (I hesitate to say I am "new" to real estate investing because I'm not doing any investing by definition) but this is what I've been doing as well.Luckily my city has records online so I can see how much a house was sold for and on what date without getting off the couch.

With the right tools and knowledge, finding and negotiating the sale of a home is almost as easy as it can get.

I found the property analysis tool, but that seemed more geared towards deciding whether to buy an investment property.

=====================================LOL====================================="wow this guy goes on and on...he's like the energizer bunny...he doesn't quit".....Well when you're rich son of a ***** like me, you work at home, and you have no more cares or responsibilities and you're no longer in the rat race...well what else is there to do but go into forums to philosophize and to do some online gaming. ha ha."

Or do you just get online to dish everyone?

Your local property tax rate can be researched through your tax office which will most likely be online.

I would find your state's property code online.

I want to get involved in real estate investing and have been looking at as many places as possible while doing research online.

When I can obviously tell that they got a mortgage for $200k only 2 years ago by looking online.
