I used Allied Schools to get my license and I highly recommend it.  

I got stuck a little in analysis paralysis, I was aware I was looking for a good house in a good school district in a good neighborhood with good rental potential and better rates when running the formulas.

The only time I may avoid the credit check is if it's someone's kid and they are in high school or college still.

And they knew you from high school. 

I studied mechanical engineering and will likely be going back to school this fall for industrial engineering.

You can check out the best and worst school districts, demographics, livability of the neighborhood.

I forced my Partners who were still old school to utilize their Smart phones better.

its just old school .. just because that is what they know and are used to.

I've had an interest in real estate since I was in high school, after I read Rich Dad Poor Dad (sound familiar?).

At an extra $80/month taken away from my capex, that would help mostly townhomes, in the area that’s attactive with shops and good schools, look more appealing then the ~$140/month cash flow i would be looking at without that factored it.
