Thanks Brett,I'll be sure to keep connecting with people in my area and searching BP for more information, @Brett Russell

Additionally, as I enter phase II of life (the big "R" not too far off), I am in search of advice on good ways to build revenue streams from investment properties (single/duplex/ multi-family).

., provides an online technology platform and patented client management system that allows real estate agents to provide their buyers and sellers the industry's best search experience, including real-time MLS data and public records, the ability to view their customers' search activities and collaborate with them online, and to easily and automatically provide other information and tools to help clients find the perfect home or market their property.Listingbook has 70 MLS clients and is available to 60 percent of agents nationwide.

I would consider building a targeted website for the demographics you are searching for and then working with a web developer to SEO the site as much as possible.I would suspect though that networking will most likely bring you your biggest leads early on.

I searched the area using Trulia just for a rough estimate and it looks like the house may be underwater but not by much.

I"m in search of my first rental property.

If you google transactional funding, you will find plenty of places to contact, and the same if you're looking for hard money.You could buy the property in your personal name and possibly do a land contract with a buyer, or a lease option.

From google searches...

I would recommend you start searching for another realtor.

Search 50% rule.
