Both are strong cash flow markets.

I'm pretty flexible on my entry level job, some sort of investment analyst will likely be my strong suit.

Be prepared to make a strong offer and provide the funds timely. 

The rental market here is very strong.

This will be a strong tailwind for the Class C rental market, as low-wage tenants can afford rising rental rates.2.

I'd strongly urge you to hire a public adjuster. 

Although I strongly disagree with not sharing your contacts openly with other investor is the right thing to do here, don’t forget we all started at someplace and all reached out to someone we knew for help and resources didn’t we?

So understanding the market your investing I would strongly encourage you not to pay tenant utilities. 

If you offer once per week with serious and strong offers, you eventually will get one.

Bonus points if it can be exported to bulk data and allow for breakdowns by studio, 1bd, 2bd, 3bd.Costar has this information but you can only search a single city at a time whereas I am needing to aggregate all at once for analysis.
