Access to the agent MLS web tools gave me the ability to analyze a deal MUCH faster than going on public sites.

I lived in Clayton County (ClayCo is the nickname down here) 12 years before moved up to Downtown Atl.After the school system lost its accreditation forcing the residents fleeing to other counties, the housing crash finished with a KO on the real estate market.I took a gamble, cashed out my retirement acct, and paid cash for 5 doors down here.

i am a web designer and wordpress user. 

Charleston is simply a winner.. but the great part of it is its not a BP area.reason prices are a little to high for all the buy and hold cash flow folks who think appreciation is gambling.. so you don't have the masses in there competing.. so that's the good news.. our cash flow since we got there has been 500 to 1 million a year LOL.. and not ONE rental..

The only time I've ever done longer than a 12 month lease was with a tenant who I had a long history with, who I trusted, and who had verifiable reasons to stay at the property for more than 12 months (she had a job in the neighborhood that had an 18 month contract)...a long lease can be great if it's an A+ tenant you know well and trust, but a long lease with an unknown tenant is a gamble... 

I proceeded to look and noticed a tangled web of extension cords. 

Also provides some assurance the the web records are current.

I also like how it can integrate with Zapier to capture leads from social media, web forms, email, etc.  

@rick harmonWhat I don't understand is that I ask the same question about what advertising works best and I get beat up for it whereas, someone comes on and asks about yellow letters and postcards and everyone is falling all over themselves to get them to the two main people affiliated with this web site who sell those. 

My opinion may be bias because I own a web design company, but you will waste time trying to figure things out on your own.
