I’m scouring the country looking for a similar case or a legal expert with experience with whether such information is "private" and members who legally obtain it can be forced to keep it secret, or whether a fundamental First Amendment right to free speech might apply, especially where an owner has never signed any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement before or after buying in.Thanks!

Prices are high, expenses are high, and rents are modest so the strategies that can get you enough to live on, to give some examples, might be student housing, higher risk cities with low house prices and poor economic fundamentals, or starting with buying a multi-million dollar portfolio requiring hundreds of thousands or a million+ of down payment.

@Daniel M Gibson sticking to fundamentals and your "gut" is always the best course.Unlike 99% of the investors on this site, my take is that investing for cash flow is a bad idea...it creates a jaundiced view of how things work...meaning that investing is about controlling assets as wisely as possible...not immediate cash flow.I use seller carried loans routinely because I'm in for the long haul (and I don't need rental income to survive)...as long as the purchase price makes sense, I could care less about income...the concept is debt paydown and future equity.

Web scraping and $200 for the right resource and I bet you'd have something automated.Or, take the hour and go through a zillow etc on your own. 

(eg, when login to the app, you can see the deals you entered in the web, and vice versa) It already defaults to including most of these sort of expenses like CapEx and Vacancies.

Always buy in areas that have good economic fundamentals.
