But it always seemed intuitive to me that in a recession, people would get squeezed out of the A Class apartments into more affordable units, as well as people getting squeezed out of owning into renting.I asked John more about this during a break and if he had any data on not just vacancy, but NOI, because I wonder if A class just hides their losses with concessions instead of lowering rent.Anyway, what you say @John Warren and @Christopher Lombardi seems totally rational and what I would expect.  

My overall net result, approximately $6000 in tuition for the class "Urban Section 8 Landlording 101".

You would save a ton of money in tuition, and commute to save more.

Are the analysis tools good / intuitive?

The UI on Cozy was simple, intuitive and efficient. 

I use the Mint app by intuit to tack my budget, and all categories roll over month to month.

Intuit Payment Network sends out a request for payment, but does not reveal my banking info.  

If you decide to, I would use cozy.co. it's a very intuitive PM site and it's free.

@Simone Koga Great initial intuition.

Unlike buying real estate, there are too many aspects to it that are not necessarily intuitive.
