Either way, best of luck with the testing and congrats on the early start!

I stress test all of my deals to where they need to still cashflow if rents pull back 8% and 15% vacancy. 

Time to time I think to myself... if I had an extra $1-2 million in cash I know exactly what I'd do (hence the private REIT idea), but I am continuing to add 3-5 properties/year with my own cashflow.I've been able to acquire all my properties based on several algorithms I've designed (I have a whole slew of formulas including my own in-house comps-calculation that identify cap rates out of the box based directly from realcomp data)...

Make sure to narrow down your list to a select few towns so as not be overwhelmed so a lot of data. 

I wonder if I could give them a deposit to hold and pause contract until I finish the course and take the test.

I can write up an invoice right now that says "$3000 - replaced natural gas furnace", but until you fire up the furnace and test the performance and put eyes on the unit to verify it is new, who knows the quality of the work?

CepedaHow do you get data like that on a given area?

In lieu of turning on, you can do an air compression test to detect any leaks in the plumbing.  

I have taken tests on multiple professional licenses (most recently the Mortgage Loan Originators exam).

I will mention i have a close friend who is a GC who taught, created the test, and also portions of a GC class curriculum at hand for support.
