Also if you have found that it has actually helped with things like tenant retention?

Because let's be honest, they are always looking for a reason to do so.I'm especially interested to hear from anyone who actually encountered this issue and how it was handled or who works in the homeowners/landlord insurance industry.Thanks!

Totally useless for making go/no-go decisions, just like the average-only market stats from RedFin & Zillow.Stay away from AI, demographic data, and average-only market data/stats if you want to "make a data driven decision towards purchase", they are all too broad/meaningless to actually help make that go/no-go decision.

I'm actually interviewing PMs and CO Hosts this week, and Handyman for installation of all the furnishings set to show up at the property in January. 

I use FBMarketplace and generate tons of inquiries and fewer actual results.

I actually had an initial phone call with the co-host that ended up lasting an hour because he kept giving me tips and local knowledge.

(i can say though that DC actually doesn't have a lot of small multis. 

They actually do.

I think option 1 upfront but what about in a couple years when I actually do want to sell.

At this point I don't think I can learn much more without actually taking the plunge and purchasing a property.Thanks in advance!
