I would think it could be best to use someone from your region so they know what plants are best for your area.

Personally i would offcourse prefer a free version, but to be honest I think some people would find this really helpfull and would be happy to pay (recurringly) a certain amount of money for this tool.Are there also special features you can do with it like sort on a certain region or only sends an email after a certain percentage of price drop, etc. ? 

Looking to network with folks, interested in all things real estate but focusing on commercial cash flowing multi family properties in the region.

Timing is everythingMust know the market betterScreening and rescreening tenantsinspect the property of your tenantsmake sure to know the eviction laws in your state/region

Also they went on to describe that we can't increase more than 3% or regional CPI whichever is greater in a 12 month as a maximum.

then currently I have been optioning DIRT for future communities get it entitled and either take it down ourselves or flip to national or regional builders.. and for day job we fund fix and flippers and turn key companies for their inventory.. do a few hundred of those a year.

But they are mostly regional. 

I was in property management for several years as a regional manager and worked for some of the bigger names in Minnesota which has helped quite a bit in reassuring clients.

I only have two properties in the South Jersey region and would like the person to be close.
