The house appreciated and the debt was paid down and that launched us into other investments when we finally did sell.  

Most fall under category 1, followed by category 4, then 2 and finally category 3.

Most free sources like realtor.com, zillow.com pull data from county/public tax records. 

We've been to 38 of the big 63 National Parks; both Hot Springs and Broken Bow, which kind of cater to that same crowd, ever seemed appealing enough to visit.It doesn't mean that they are bad places to invest, but the anecdote needs to corroborate the data for me to want to cut a check and stress out for several months hoping it will work.

As you said, they show up, answer questions about the local market, provide useful data when needed, and just are a general value add to the forums.I think it's fair for consumers to take what an agent says about the market with a grain of salt, but over time, their reputation for giving good info without the smarm wins.

"Now you need this' "next you need this" Finally you're in vegas at super mystery weekend with screaming motivators and you feel like your're just waiting on Jim Jones or David Koresh to come out and tell you how to get to paradise.

I recommend connecting and consulting with an account representative at PadSplit to get their intake and see if they can provide any data on room rental rates/demand.
