You could visit the site daily or weekly, you could require them to send pictures at the end of the day, or you could have a third party inspect their work.

I have learned a lot from this site and the podcasts. 

Meaning does the value of the site depend on the zone change?

Things to maybe look for I've learned could be:  household income, median home price, job growth, industries, school/education ranking, percentage of renters in area, unemployment rates etc. 

Ben Toth stop reading books just build a spreadsheet to analyze a properties you see and rank them so you know a deal when you see them.

Ive seen on bigger pockets and the site rentimeter.com keeps coming up but this site only takes into account the number of bed/baths in a property and not that fact that a 2 bed 2 bath multi family is actually 2 separate units with 1 b 1 bath in each. 

Already have on site management team

Are there any other sites that you use to find deals?
