A license for a real estate agent or property manager is for people that earn income/commissions by acting on the behalf of another person to protect and progress their client's interests. 

It is, however, one of the most important tools an investor has to evaluate deals.Let me illustrate some ways you can do that.

We are evaluating Appfolio.  

First, find a experienced Investor friendly Realtor to help you find, evaluate, and acquire properties.  

I would continue to do that work.  1) Hopefully it is done right2) You can save money.3) You hopefully are learning a lot and will use that knowledge in the future to evaluate properties when you have enough capital to higher out the grunt work.  

I went on Thursday of last week but I had no idea what I was looking at and I was too shy to ask the women that worked there (I know, got to get out of the comfort zone - but look, give me a break, I'm naturally shy and I at least walked in and got to the files; that's progress).

I'll do some digging on that front and see if something pops, and re-evaluate after a few months.  

I would re evaluate though with a weak market , this park is small , and you will be at a distance  as well 

I also have a company that will help to set you up with a GC and provide progress photos, and project oversight if that is of interest as well.Message me with your contact info if you'd like to discuss.Cheers

I'm extremely new and learning how to evaluate a deal.
