I have seen 3 studies recently comparing home ownership compared to renting.  1) 50 out of 50 largest markets it is initially cheaper to rent than own 2) 97 out of 100 largest markets it is initially cheaper to rent than own 3) 95 out of 100 largest markets it is initially cheaper to rent than own.

That tool really sounds ideal...I think in most major markets now that are either saturated or balanced in terms of supply/demand now more than ever amenity rich properties are a must. 

Definitely went to some places we would never have ever gone to.

If you have ever heard the saying you have to be in the game to win the game, I have found that you have to look for properties constantly to find the deal you want, but along the way you find a lot of other properties, that if you had your real estate license you could have made money on.

Tom, were you ever able to find a company or individual that purchases remainderman interest? 

If so, can you please tell us if they've ever actually helped the people they claimed to help?
