And then one day the brokerage will say they're using a different program than the Realtor Association provides and you have to use that one now.

Will lenders and banks look at college degrees to make decisions?

Keep the "7 degree of separation". feel free to message me with any questions!

I switched to a 360-degree camera that provides a better idea of the property and it helped me rent homes faster/easier because people didn't feel the need to walk through in person.

You will always want to separate lot rent income and associated expenses from additional rental income and associated POH expenses.

If not, maybe recommend to you associations MLS committee to add these fields.

I'd start by reaching out to local real estate investment associations (REIAs), as well as checking here on BiggerPockets, to identify STL landlords willing to give you the unfiltered truth about the property managers they are using or have used in the past.Be sure to thank these investors generously once you've spoken to them: You'll likely be relying on them repeatedly for additional assistance and advice!

I know from county tax records in my market areas provide an increasing degree of information.

It seems like you've done your research on the association, so I won't ask any more questions about that.

At its current minimum bid price, I can see someone easily making 80k (or more) off the property, with only 30-35k initial investment: the county requires only 20% down + fees, then carries 5 year contract, costs associated with municipal liens which are the only liens not released as a consequence of the tax foreclosure (state law), clean up costs for the property itself, costs related to the sale of the property including any action to quiet title, and costs associated with having to hold the property 3 months in case such action has to happen prior to selling said property.
