The premise is you are a techie and will use the S/Q to its full potential and can automate stuff to minimize your time/pain.

@Adir Schneider - I don't know if there's a programmatic or automated way to do it.

I emailed Brandon but got an automated response and completely understand why. 

There are 5 states now that don't allow automation services to pull criminal.

Also the marketing is automated.

I would like to market to tenants that are 120 days out from lease ending dates and want to automate that system. 

The sure way is the to read the court file/lp, which will show a recording instrument/book-page number.

I have more of a background in financial instruments where risk and reward is a useful metric when deciding to invest in different equities.Hope the post wasn't too long and thank you in advance for the responses!

Borrowing on a second  after a purchase could have the effect of allowing for a deficiency judgement against you should you default.You need to research the instruments you will be using in the states you are buying as conditions vary by state.

Figure out your budget, develop your marketing strategy and develop systems to organize/automate your business.
