I think the move here is to buy an extremely ugly, but functioning house like Elizabeth Colegrove mentioned she did.  

(For example, on this one I get "Thoughts on moderation functionality," "Automating my processes to streamline management," and "Commercial blanket loans for SFHs")Because of the poor search functionality, we get dozens, if not hundreds of redundant posts, making BP less, not more, effective as a tool.Is there anything in the works to improve this?

The realtor.com iPhone app does let you search for exact number of bedrooms; I think the app on my iPad functions this way too. 

I'm certainly not a QB power user so the reduced functionality of QB online may not bother me much.  

Now, use the search function on the upper right hand corner and locate some successful investors from Duluth and nearby cities.  

Use the search function and find the "How do you harden your rentals" thread.

Yea, you can add 2+2 all day long but if you learn a just a couple other functions you can do so much more.

If you're interested in learning more, the largest organization I know of is SOHO, a San Diego group, you can google them, they put out a nice magazine on rehabilitations of historic places. :)

Essentially anyone can be an administrator, and their main function is to perform administrative functions only.

It was a function of flight, many foreclosures, and city people moving into the now cheap new rentals.
