From what I've read in my short time on this social network and in Mark's book it looks like I've come to the right place. 

One charges $42 for all checks but has everything "in house" (ability to post online listings on social media sites, craigslist, etc. with an 'Apply Now' button, send e-application, screen request, digital lease, create and send additional documents (add'tl $15), collect rent).

Also you will notice that the social climates between the two areas might be quite different.

@Joe Fairless I own in Rochester NY and there is some great cash-flow there, they are both very liberal with their Department of Social Service, yet pretty landlord friendly when it comes to evictions.  

Let Social Media do what it doesI have found that People have more value than SEO, backlinks, etc.....  

I recently began discussing business with a friend I've seen consistently for about a year in a social setting.

As a landlord, keep in perspective, keep in perspective the social licence we operate under.

Lets not forget what social class spends the most money.

Holding 6 homes as rentals won't give enough economic data (value of management, tax and appreciation, social values) to allow a true financial determination to compare your position.

He's given me that same fascination and now, with some experience of entrepreneurial work, I'm going to find out just how far down the rabbit hole goes...Feel free to contact me via social media (Twitter, LinkedIn) or give me a call at 719-650-7245)!
