For instance, nearly all my properties have traits that were critical to their financial viability as rentals, but which would have never been conveyed in numbers or via software...because of that, I prefer to collect my own data, do my own analyses, see the properties with my own eyes, and do my own due diligence--and I don't need any fancy software to do that (at least, nothing fancier than Excel).Just my two cents.Good luck out there!
