For most, this isn't a realistic option so they update some of the most important regions themselves and copy the data from other providers where they don't have coverage.This is a big problem with these big consumer-grade real estate analytics platforms—you don't really know the source of that data, its frequency, etc.

I just do not understand the need to add "benefits" to the programs  that are just not real. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

I would like to speak with local investors, real estate agents, property managers, lenders, etc. from the area.

Combine those factors and start thinking of nightmare scenarios, because they are very real and you must be proactive in policing against there potential to occur. 

Could you please recommend any local real estate agents?

@Brittany MyrickIf I were getting started in real estate investing in New England, I’d focus on researching local market trends, especially job growth, rental demand, and the broader economic outlook.

If a wholesaler can still profit while provided “full disclosure” and adhering to the rules and regulations of real estate licensees then they’ve earned their profit.   

There are SO MANY sub-niches to dealing with distress real estate.

An attorney that practices real estate is a good choice, an attorney that invests in real estate is a better choice.
