I have been researching on line, and have come across information that indicates that the IRS has  a minimum interest rate for family loans that needs to be charged.Can I take a interest free loan from them?

It's really easy to get lots of information about properties online so i would suggest use those resources to find and analyze deals and then figure out what you are comfortable with.

The Florida Bar has free forms online

I use tenantcloud for $9/mo and have tenants pay online. 

@Luke Naylor I still recommend Quickbooks Online Plus.

From there I did as much research online and I went to conferences, I bought courses, read books,I listened to podcasts and youtube videos.A good place to start is with Fuquan Bilal's  book Called  "Turning distress into success".

I have looked at employment and growth rankings online and things like that but I also like to hear it from actual investors. 

@Jesse KerrYou can ask them about average sales prices, days on market, housing statistics, age of neighborhood/when homes were built, things like that.If you’re interested in demographics or crime rates, you need to look at sites like city-data dot com or neighborhood scout dot com or local police websites, or whatever you can find online, as agents can’t provide that information to you.

The area I’m buying in is woodinville, wa where th median single family home goes for 550k..

I may adjust up or down depending on the initial repairs that it will take to get the property online and in production.
