I'd love to see a pro member feature that used private slack channels for members.

Talk to your local bank/credit union to see what type of financing you qualify for. Maybe look for a duplex or MF and house hack to gain some equity. Read the BP low and no money down book. It will give you lots of ideas.

I'm also taking the same class @Daniel King. Would love to hear others thoughts on the post study guides. thx!

$1400 is definitely fair market price. Saratoga is one of the most desirable locations around this area. If I were you I'd suggest waiting it out. Are there any small cosmetic upgrades you could do in the mean time to give you a competitive edge?  Fresh coat of paint, slapping down some pergo could go a long way.

So much good info in here. Thank you for sharing @Will Gaston. Curious how you deal with payment? Are you using something like cozy.co to collect?
