The beauty of this is that intermediaries who work with me know that I make “fair” offers based on VERIFIABLE facts, that I follow through with completed deals unless important information was with held or information provided was false, and that there’s absolutely no value in presenting deals to me where the seller/borrower/investor is unrealistic, naive, or otherwise wanting to “test” the market.  

In our student houses we use a programmable thermostat, but our building monitoring system has its own sensors and can override the wall thermostat and will not allow the temperature to get below 10C (50F) ... we are presently testing a new software load that will also prevent them from cooling the house too far in the summer.

Don't worry about minor complaints, you are doing a fine job.Just one question, ALL sites have a delay in data from MLS updates, and from court reported information, and so on, is that a function of a monthly update routine or can the information be updated a little more frequently? 

I can just give you some data to guide your thought process.

The course is long and test is difficult so make sure you are committed.

Quote from @Anastasia Foster: Hi I am currently looking into their fix and flip fund- their 24% pref is hard to pass up but also doing my due diligence since I have not worked with them before@Anastasia FosterPerhaps a data point for your due diligence. 

.)- Average days on market- Absorption rate- Historical data on rents and sale prices in the area- Population growth- Main economic drivers (industries, individual companies, etc.)- Crime stats... if you know specific zip codes/submarkets that you'd like to target, the best data will come from local precincts. - and more..I'd recommend remaining active not only here on BiggerPockets, but in other valuable RE investment networks that you can find - i.e. local meetups (meetup.com, eventbrite, BP local events). 

I like https://quantmaps.com/ if you want to overlay some data. 

Once you complete your class and pass the test, you will start looking for brokerages.

I would test one as MTR and maybe one as STR, depending on your market.For those of us who know Sacramento, there's actually quite a lot of information to go on in here.
