I haven't bought any homes on Auction.com but am pretty confident in the over all elements within the site.

I just found out that a rental property I own is within 200 feet of a potential new site for a fast food restaurant.

Welcome to the site!

Just substitute the state and city and you can look at different areashttp://www.jchs.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/Ha... - A little high level but does mention some states in there.http://www.usmayors.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05... - Employment info a bit dated but aligns with the price rises seen in those states.

You can find them on Meetup site. 

You can search "house hacking" on this site. 

@Victoria S. inheriting bad tenants is part of the business in the apartment game.

Let them know that you're not going to play that game because they no longer will  own the property. 

I am mainly looking for the cash flow game in long-term rentals but also have been looking and BRRR strategy recently as it seems to be the best way to get the best cash flow or possible just flip it to capture the gains more quickly.  

Also they won't do anything with a residential component unless it is incidental to the operation of the business, like an apartment for an on-site manager for a hotel.
