Add in another level of motivation with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS).Just be sure that the list you get has been run through the National Change of Address (NCOA).

@Caleb Anderson Depends on your comfort level, but 45 minutes seems very manageable.

My HVAC guy didn't want to run ducts to the second level in a house, he just said it was too expensive and he just wanted to be a part of the AC install. 

The BP Plus or Pro level will give you way more general advertising, networking and search options to zero in on a micro level.

My background is in multifamily and I was shocked when I transitioned to self storage and saw the level of active management that is required to drive a return. 

I don't think we are quite at that level yet but I do like seeing the revitalization being done in both downtowns and the draw of big business.

We also buy very unloved buildings under the assumption that we will be gutting the building and replacing almost everything ... so typically do not bother with engaging an inspector or engineer unless we see something out of the ordinary (in a bad way) or we are having a Phase 1 done.However, in the beginning before we had acquired our present level of comfort and experience, we sent an inspector into most buildings ... if for no other reason than to provide input into maintenance and renovation planning.

With the coming of online vacation rental sites like Airbnb, true occupancy is not disclosed, and we're left to guess.The result of guessing is some level of inaccuracy (mild to wild), which brings criticism to market pricing / availability tools.

You can't afford to spend at the level like some of the guys here in town do on direct mail, ppc, etc. 

@Murthy Kuppala Yeah, I think BiggerPockets is such a great platform for people of all experience levels.
