We have sporadically met other developers here and there, but would really love to meet and establish meaningful connections with a few more. 

Looking forward to all there is to learn and make meaningful, honest, long-term connections along the way!

The areas that do have meaningful inventories of homes at the 20k price point are going to fall into the worst areas in Akron.The graphic below shows what I mean.Areas shaded darker have higher concentrations of 20k properties. 

So I kicked the habit - I stopped going to seminars and started to apply some of those ideas that were preached by speakers who were experts at extracting fees from me.I started to attend real estate auctions, studying the process - watching others make a lot of money - I decided to get a credit line - increase my credit card limits and started looking for properties (cheap- ugly buildings) in the neighborhood where real estate auctions were taking place - my primary goal at this time was to learn the market in the area where I wanted to control real estate - I would look at 50-60 houses (but made no offers - when agents would try to qualify me I just said "I have a small inheritance and will not need financing) - I kept a journal of the price per square foot,  comparing properties, and all comments made by sellers and agents (this helped me to find the seller dominate selling motive),  that was helpful - but I soon discovered that I was just looking for real estate in the conventional way  - I needed to do something else - so I started to look for owners of real estate who had problems (I applied Power Prospecting formulas) and at the same time studying creative real estate techniques from the old masters in the industry - became a member of the Washington Real Estate Exchange, hosted a real estate investor club and started to give mini creative financing seminars  while networking with those I wanted to emulate. 

If you have made any effort to reasonable air seal the building envelope, then you need the range hood to extract stale air and humidity as a regular air exchanger will not typically be able to adapt to accommodate cooking.Even if your house is not tight, it is still appropriate to properly vent the cook top to prevent moisture damage and grease build-up on the ceiling above.

RJ Nickson Don't think you've included enough details for anyone to provide much meaningful comments.

With that said, I want to make sure the tool I am providing is meaningful and need to understand what other information would be critical to commercial real estate investors.Any help is greatly appreciated!

Meaning, figure out why exactly it is, what exactly is making you credible, extract it, and use it more!

We are both "old school, small town" type of people, and really value a meaningful handshake and honest process, and love that Bigger Pockets seems to be that kind of place! 

Yes you extracted proper key points from this post for sure.Also one more thing.... if you do run into an issue don’t get stuck in paralysis state and raise that money that you just lost from the roof by investing into something else just to play away the damage and get back on track.Obviously you must know in what to invest and how.
