That is my main concern i am not educated in such facts, which is why i am contacting a few lawyers and libraries and online cites to educate myself!

My realtor in Orlando helped me shop online and when a home within a neighborhood I was interested in fell within my budget, she jumped on it.

If he lived there long enough to benefit from major appreciation, it would seem opportunistic of you to come in and do a bit of a remodel and take years of growing wealth, but my answer might be different if you were working with a stranger.

Thank you Jason, Are there any REIA meetings closer to me that I can attend or REIA meetings on-line/zoom that I can attend? 

I think there are approximately 13 per day.You can also search Google for "Online Rent Payment" and get a slew of options.There are also property management programs available with collection built in.

So I was watching YouTube and a "guru" mentioned you can take a loan out on your indexes/stocks as it is a secured loan at a fraction of what you would get on a regular loan (1.5% instead of the 3-4% on a regular conventional loan) and that you can borrow around 40-60% of your portfolio amount.I looked online for info even close to this but couldn't find it, I have a sizeable 401k so wanted to look into this - any insight greatly appreciated

Tenant portal, investor portal, web site, online payments, etc

Looking for a meet up group or online groups to get our real estate investing goals a reality!

And, I say "official" because I have spent thousands and thousands of hours scouting online and have gone on several trips to look for properties on my own.What makes this one the Official One is that this time I have a defined goal with a strategy to follow.

Ive seen a couple driving around but can't really find any online.
