I've checked all valves which are all open and the zone valve seems to be functioning correctly.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bpThe second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

Whatever you choose, you need to be consistent with your marketing plan. 

Can you recommend any lockboxes with this functionality? 

What it allows for is a No PMI loan with zero out of pocket for a owner occupied home up to a 4 unit multi family.  

We didn't choose the $499 subscription price and wanted to test it out for a year.

I find its kind of a progression.. you need a lot of capital for the note business the benefits of rentals is leverage of course.what i found was many did well as landlords then tired and just started to sell them off as they were retiring and note income worked for them.. and or they blended they had some rentals and had some notes. does not take a landlord that is suffering burnt out landlord syndrome but wants cash flow to understand how notes work.. but of course you have to choose wisely on the notes  for sure.. as it relates to BP  overwhelmingly the guys and gals on this site are going for bigger yields that they hope to make with NPN so they work for those.. and its not just passive income by any means its a business.. 

For instance, if you are looking for an owner occupied multi family find an agent that has gone through the process with a client and been through the different aspects that are unique to buying that kind of property.

Ball-busters will make you want to quit real estate.Ever wonder why doctors choose a specialty? 

I'm sure there are many more things I haven't addressed here but I certainly wish you the best in whatever market you choose.....Gary
