If you haven't already, I'd suggest checking out @Dawn Anastasi's e-book through her website www.coreprop.biz.

While catching up with an online gaming buddy I haven't spoken to in 5 years, he mentioned this website and podcast. 

Crazy how time flies...Anyway, in my spare time, I have built a 100% free (seriously) real estate exam prep website.

Please review our website and reach out for an initial consultation. 

What websites did you find useful in conducting your own title search ?

I have found the information thus far on this website to be fantastic, and have already incorporated the House Hack and the BRRRR into my book based on what I have learned here.My prior writing has been in the area of Biblical Fiction (I'm also an Orthodox Rabbi), but lately, I've been expanding into the area of personal growth novels.

I will most definitely scrutinize the numbers before accepting anything!

There is some repair costs needed to touch up the place like carpet and fresh paints, will this be something that we will need to do prior to having the tenant/buyer accepting into the property?

I have them sign a "Holding Agreement" that says I've accepted the deposit and will hold the unit until a specific date, at which time they must sign the lease and pay first month's rent and anything else owed.My policy also says I'll only hold a unit vacant for one week and then they have to start paying rent.

I'm using all the MLS websites to search but I feel that this is not the way to get the real deals and the pros get those before I can.
