So having the metric tied to a company isnt really serving the consumer or the business professional.

I already have a job (that pays more per hour than SFHs), I don't need another time consuming one for the rest of my life.You'll never hear about and be burdened with a tenant not paying their rent when passively invested in syndications, and that's a beautiful thing :) 

At least if there is enough consumer preference to SF vs MF. 

So you lose out on someone buying a building in a B area with less cashflow but over time, he will have accumulated a portfolio of buildings with a lot more cashflow than your single, high maintenance, time consumming building.

I like to think of location grades as a kind of risk score similar to what a FICO score or bond rating is to a consumers creditworthiness or bond default risk. 

Post everything up on social media , call the news station consumer advocate,send copies to the broker .

Cap and hang pvc is not time consuming what so ever.

I absolutely loved the process but also realized how exhausting and time consuming it would be to do everything by myself while holding onto a full time job.

I search and consumed everything I could on that subject, found some GREAT 'providers' who took time to answer newbie questions even though they can not directly promote themselves, and eventually picked one to use and it has been great. 

Consumers attempting to "pre-underwrite" themselves is a tree that bears no fruit.
