There is always someone who needs money more than the property, but these are not listed online with a broker.

@Joe Splitrock Thanks, I slowly got to that realization about Google Fi as I kept reading about it online.

We have to hold a pretty strict line or the forums will quickly get overrun like most online forums.

I recently decided to dive into real estate investing after listening to podcasts and being advised by several strangers that the real estate market is the way to go!

Don't be cheap and look for free crappy docs online.

However, I am very surprised by the amount of BP content in podcasts, books, and online that uses the word "equity" when talking about "sweat equity" partners and capital partners.

You probably wont have enough funds to Skiptrace, so you will need to manually search numbers (searchpeoplefree.com).Find potential sellers on Popstream -> search their numbers for free-> call -> follow up -> Close a deal -> Find a buyer using Propstream and online groups.  

Some have them on line, others give them away during the auctions they run.  

I've decided to go for my agent license, and have been plugging away at my study guide, the guide tests, and a few other resources online.

Usually this can be done online.
