I can't see what you would need a course to teach you that you can't learn by reading 30 Day Stay; listening to the BP podcast episodes with Sarah Weaver, Zeona McIntyre, and Jesse Vasquez; and hanging out in MTR forums/Facebook groups.

Each unit is on individual wall/window units and I know from experience those can be a pain to deal with too. 

If you have wall thermostats in the home you can also consider putting in a thermostat which limits the temperature the heat can be set. 

But if you do have a house that sits in expansive soils and are susceptible to shrinking and expanding they can put pressure on the basement walls (exacerbated by frost/thaw cycles) and cause them to crack horizontally.

The wall street journal published a piece suggesting home prices are overprice and will likely fall. 

There is a 1 inch gap between the baseboards and wall and the actual floor which presumably leads outside due to my having a room with 3 walls that lead directly outside. 

If you hit a wall I would speak with an attorney with that specialty.

After just one year, when that tenant vacated, FPM charged an additional $2,800 in turnover costs, with $770 earmarked just for touching up paint on a single wall—borderline comical.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Basically, the money used in this type of financing comes from "Wall Street".
