If you use one of the property management systems like webselfstorage or sitelink or yardi, they will integrate the payment system with your website so you do not have to worry about building out a secure site, etc. plus they will provide the data analytics for you.

When looking for an investment property you do not have the same emotional ties and can be more analytical.

I have access to CoStar and REIS through work, so I have excellent data analytics.  

I love all the detail insights on markets, neighborhoods  and analytical information as well as the streamlined buying/management process that Roofstock seems to provide...definitely a company i will be looking into as in the near future.

i wasnt even aware that analytics of that sort existed!

Hi guys,I’ve been doing some extensive reading and doing property analytics in Garfield park (East/West) and Hegewisch, and have been seeing a lot of investor activity in terms of rehabbed Section 8 rentals as well as conventional Fix and Flips.In the current market, is it better to acquire rentals or to start out with a Fix and Flip?

If I am being picky and overly analytical, fair enough and I will go quietly into the night - but in the interest of BP seeking continual improvement, I thought I'd put it out there.
