I’m doing my due diligence studying I’m putting my plan together,but I came across an idea today that I just wanted a little help on.It’s a house hacking idea I just wanna make sure that it has legs.

Utility bills in collections currently are an entirely different situation.Make a study of the entire picture, including previous landlords, length of employment (and verification), eviction history, arrest/conviction records. 

Just different as they are SFR deals ( communities)  the bank underwrites the probability of success as well and relies heavily on MAI appraisals and data gleaned from those.. with MF I would think there are companies that do market studies.. just like for storage you hire a company to do a study to prove your project will have demand.. 

Hello, I am new to biggerpockets and was wondering what the best way to study a market is.

Should I spend the next 2 years reading every real estate book, vetting/ interviewing every potential team member, studying the market daily, finding a mentor I trust and can learn from, BEFORE I do my first deal??

I look forward to continue studying the Atlanta market and observing how micro markets within Atlanta grow over time.

I'm ready to start working for my real estate license, and i want to know the best way to go about it. do i pay for the online course work and study and read on my own, or do i attend a class or seminar where an instructor teaches?

@Valerie K. start by studying the economic and demographic trends in a number of MSA's.

For now, I'll wait and see and keep studying.

Having not studied enough, not being smart enough, tough enough, strong enough, decisive enough so that one of my preventable failures causes someone else to suffer and/or lose their life, which in turn causes their family to bear the the permanent burden of my mistakes that could have been prevented with more effort on my part.However, if you follow the Stoics, then all of these emotions, particularly fear, come from within and we endure them by our own choice. " ...your actions or frames of mind shall be ascribed to no other cause than the decisions of your will, that is to say, that you wanted to do them, And this applies to what you do good as well as what you do evil" -EppictetusSo I guess the follow up question is why are you afraid of not finding tenants?
