It seems like there's a lot of exciting businesses in the pipe and access to Wayne Junction makes it a very attractive area.

I have a friend that has access to the MLS.

Im still going through my 90 hour online class to get my real estate license.

Listing, applications/screening, leases, online rent collection, and maintenance tracking? 

Your agent may be able to access them. 

Reading online reviews of Shaw, LifeProof, and Stainmaster all seem decent quality.

I found a template online for excel that I use to record my income and expenses and it has a section to track mileage and multiplies your mileage by whatever the allowable rate is for business travel ($0.535 cents last year).

I read online that they primarily look at DSCR and operating income.

Some advice I've seen online is to just network, get a part time job in the industry such as property management and continuing to read and learn then make the jump once i graduate.

The constant issue I have is unlocking & accessing this equity, preferably through an equity line of credit.
