I'm working on gathering and compiling a lot more data to help in making my decision but I'm mainly just trying to make sure I bounce this off BP since there are so many knowledgeable and helpful people on here. 

Just going out & measuring with your tape measure isn't going to help much if you are seriously considering adverse possession, title insurance payout, etc...You don't have the proper data yet. 

So, if you want to test renting and see what Amazon impact is over the next few years, that is fine but you need to really think things through about 2 1/2 years from now. 

Just for curiosity, what exactly is included in the $200/month subscription (data entry, troubleshooting, etc.)?

Here in the SF Bay Area (also HCOL), 3-4 unit properties at MLS prices do not pass the FHA self-sufficiency test, more or less as a hard and fast rule. 

Often in periods of strong growth national brands might test those smaller markets and leave early termination clauses in the lease.

We just financed a couple multifamily deals in Bend - if anyone wants a copy of the appraisal's market data section or some market data from CoStar, etc. - give me a shout. 

I tried this out at the lakehouse and service was pretty spotty for me (that is very much area dependent) and it is amazing how much data you can blow through in a week.

@Brandon Sowers I commend you on looking at this in a way that is going to help the tenant move ins easier.I'll share an interesting data point with you.  

I always felt I could acquire a report from some real estate data company and I would have a better feel for prices and vacancies, but I can't seem to find a service that readily provides this information.
