I enjoyed your 40 under 40 bio in the Springfield Business Journal. 

Ok,  I have a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering and a Master's in Journalism.  

@Sabrina Shaw here is an actual journal for the Miracle Morning Routine.

Does anyone have any recommended blogs/journals/etc that would provide the data in as concentrated a form as possible?

Here is a tip that will work for you ------- THE Charles Parrish's 50 HOUSE RULE: Make it a project to look 50 houses, with a self pledge NOT TO buy or make an offer on any of them - your objective is to study the market, keep a journal - in it list every property you look at, the square footage, the price per SF, the agents' listing, any comments the agent or the seller makes, keep good notes - After awhile you will discover some very interesting things about this project, 1. you will become aware of values, 2. you will learn how to detect motivation of sellers and agents and 3. this journal will be a valuable asset when you are more aware of the market and you will be able, after you are a little more educated, be able to make intelligent offers that will pay off in equity or cash profits.Remember DO NOT MAKE OFFERS - you are in the research mode - also when you are asking questions you are in control - when the seller or agents are asking questions they are in control and want to qualify you - just say you are looking for properties for your family trust and that you are a CASH BUYER - that should stop them from interrogating you.Hopefully this will help you to Break Out of Analysis of Paralysis ---- Good luck - let's us know how the THE Charles Parrish's 50 HOUSE RULE works for you.

Just a little update and pseudo journal for me to look back on.

I think it was either in the DenverPost or a Multifamily Real Estate Journal. 

Many cities already have Rent Control, but vacancy control seems ridiculous (You can not raise rents on a vacant unit from the previous rents).https://www.mynd.co/landlord-journal/costa-hawkins...

She had dozens of journals and was working on a novel.
