For our large clients we provide a fully functional finance department.

We are exploring the possibility of finding one of these homes in a medium density zoning district and converting them into functioning duplexes.

This of course is a art/science in and of itself - but some of the most important factors here include, quality of schools, diversity of economy, stability/functionality of political environment, etc.For your first foray I think the best fit is something that fits the check-boxes listed above, but is also something where you can get some experience bringing value to the property. 

Also they take up lots of parking where other businesses in the center cannot function properly.

I have a pretty robust Podio setup for my development acquisitions work in Seattle that we’ve used for the past year with solid success.

Looks functional so far but I haven't yet checked out MyPorter or OwnerRes to compare them.

You obliviously want to make sure the well is functioning properly, sometimes the well site will go dry and you have drill a new well site at a cost per foot.

I really like those.. and nice wood plantation shutters are nice as well and more robust than plastic ones..  

Sometimes all you can do is look up houses for sale, but sometimes you can access other functions of the MLS.  

As we just discovered in this thread, there's a very good chance that the person who cannot function without a puppy to cuddle with (or chickens to peck them), also can't pay their credit card bills on time, meaning they do not meet your criteria due to their credit report, making the support poodle thing moot.
