Oh, and a few months before that is a false reporting charge... and a few months before that another paraphernalia charge... and at this point I'm thinking I don't want that pattern repeating itself in my unit.

However, based on the data you have there could be a lot of use cases to streamline that process.A great resource for data is using an API, I like realtor API for information on multi-family properties - https://rapidapi.com/blog/best-real-estate-apis/.Benefits of ML:- Removes the manual effort of filtering and searching- Can find patterns in large sets of data- Adaptable to changing environments- Results in actionable insightsSome ML use cases:- Prediction - Identify a home's value price based on a dataset of comparables (similar to zillow's zestimate).

I personally feel that we are in a holding pattern as the market and economy await the changes to come. 

Then see if I notice any patterns and go ahead with one.

@George Kopp I have not seen anyone mention, or any consideration of alternative privacy options than blinds.There is some amazing items, for very cheap, that a person can find online now that is rather easy to apply to glass that can make it obscure, obscure with patterns, recreate stained glass that's obscure, prismatic to make some rather cool light affects.

This has tons of great built-in features including pre-packaged "patterns" for just about everything you could want to draw related to a building design.  

Posting for the first time on Bigger Pockets.Do not know if this is even the right forum...Background is not in real estate but in Data Analytics/Data Science - analyzing and determining patterns in large data sets (millions of rows of complex data).Interested in initially researching before actually investing.Really would like to determine the type of data that I should review to quickly determine if the local market has potential or not.

I would also say the same about @Jonathan R.There's a pattern that's emerging here of people who work in this space.
