I have been advised by the Smart Charts trainer that all of the informaton in a local MLS is included in the Smart Charts product.

So to contribute year after year to a Roth is counter productive.2.

Physical real estate or Virtual real estate?

I think pulling everything together into one website would be useful in my mind... but I don't know how feasible this might be...One site which consolidates MLS listings (redfin.com, zillow.com), demographic data like distribution of family size, rental unit composition (city-data.com) rental comps for closed leases (rent-ometer.com, zillow.com), on-market rentals nearby (CL), walkscore/bikescore/transitscore (walkscore.com), etc...Of course, right now, these all have their proprietary models.. maybe you can just throw them a few pennies to aggregate it, or justify that the aggregated information is your own product..

If you want to deal with miles of government Red Tape you can work with them on getting FHA 203(k) loans which are basically the only pure residential construction loan product out there, and is only for owner occupants.  

Finally "B2R" financing is a newer loan product offered by Blackstone.

A walk through will be evident as black mold will be noticeable right away by smell, visible, or physical symptoms (hard to breathe, headache, etc). 

Here is a fact sheet about it:https://www.fanniemae.com/content/fact_sheet/homes...I'd love to hear anyone's experience with this product.

I'll have to physically go withdraw the money to get it which, of course, I have no intention of doing until the lease is up.Thanks for the info on the tax implications...that was kind of my worry as well.
