I can get all the detail I need online to run a deal (insurance rates, taxes, rents, crime rates, school ratings, etc.) 

But, what will happen in two or three years down the road when your unit/property is on month-to-month or suddenly vacated in the middle of a school semester? 

It's important to know which one you'll use before you start.I would definitely recommend the Joe Fairless syndication school podcasts.

Schenectady taxes are VERY high and the school system is one of the worst in the state.

If your subject property is in a different school zone than comps that can also affect you value so you really have to know your market.Rehabs are always going to be estimates because everybody is going to have different idea of what they would do with the property.

We live right behind the place like i said and my wife has scheduled her school schedule around cleaning the unit, but if we were to get multiple Airbnb’s we would 100% pay someone.

It's old school and takes longer but hey it's free and accurate info.

Our area features top schools and great access to Atlanta.

Depending on the school district and proximity to UB, your renters will change.Id be happy to talk more with you, you can pm me.

I have lived in Manchester for 17 years, my kids are in school here, and I'm a real estate agent, so I can give you ground-level opinion.
