@Jay Hinrichs,  there are so many things wrong with this story 1) No Multi Factor authentication ( It's a feature with google apps you just have to turn it on ) 2) Poor password discipline 3) Your vendor is accepting non encrypted non digitally signed emails :-((  There are companies like https://www.mimecast.com/ that are "relatively" easy for business to consume as part of their processes thus providing for secure messaging There are so MANY companies that don't have the proper tooling or processes to enhance security and thus combat fraud.

Flipping, on the other hand, is much more time-consuming.  

These are big responsibilities and time consuming, so they may consider a weighted compensation from the rentals for compensation of these positions. 

I am studying for my Real Estate Salesperson license in the San Francisco Bay Area now while trying to consume as much information about the topic as possible.

In California, fhe process is a lot more time consuming and expensive.

It is time consuming to put together the lists.

For consumer stuff, it's fine (e.g. best restaurant in Stroudsburg, best dry cleaner in Stroudsburg, etc.).

I am not here to impose my belief on anyone else and I also think there will also always be space for hotels in the market but I tend to think competition is a good think in these kinds of calcified markets to break monopolistic tendencies, encourage creativity, and ultimately bring more choice to the consumer.

consumer reports is a good start:http://www.consumerreports.org/electric-dryers/best-electric-dryers-for-800-or-less/http://www.consumerreports.org/washing-machines/best-washing-machines-of-2016-/

You'll most likely want to get a lender to pull your actual scores, lenders do not use consumer scoring models (yes there are 100's of scoring models).
