I activated a free trial.  

Initially the case was thrown out because the trial court found that the pool was not a nuisance or unreasonably dangerous, and furthermore the landlord had no reason to expect children to be playing in the pool (since his tenants didn't have any children). 

I don't particularly like the area around Mercer as it tends to be older homes with a lot of variation in the condition of the properties. 

Waiver of Jury Trial 16.

I love it. 1 project of mine (2 weeks) is always 40+ pages of reporting. daily reports, pictures, communications, change orders, variation orders, un/conditional waiver for progress/final payment, checklist, punchlist, closeout, turn-over, guarantee, etc.

You wrote:"It is important to note that even within a census tract there can be considerable variation that could skew the grade for the specific location of a property.

I would recommend using free trials and see which one you feel most comfortable with, and also try out their customer support during the trial and see who you get along with the best.There's also a few platforms that offer discounts to BiggerPockets members.https://www.biggerpockets.com/... 

I use a variation of the 70% rule:Maximum purchase price = (ARV - Rehab) x 70%Example: for a property with an ARV of $100,000 and rehab costs of $15,000, the maximum purchase price would be ($100,000 - $15,000) x 70% = $59,5000. 

I learned on my own from YouTube and podcasts and a lot of trial and error, haha.

My first investment was a live in triplex, and I felt it taught me almost everything I needed to know through trial and error.
