I just joined BiggerPockets Pro and I am impressed with their tools and community here. 

Not investing so my FB friends will say that I am a good guy until I have to evict one of my homeless tenants. ( Where is the profit)You might do so, only as a tool to present yourself in a better community light, and have a lot of taxes that need to be offset.

Leverage at healthy levels is a beautiful tool.

I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but I couldn't find a clear answer.What measurement tool should I be using to determine whether a property is worth going after?

I have been following the Philly market for a while and used an analysis tool that pulls data from Airbnb and VRBO to verify what other hosts are making, with what type of properties, and in what areas.

No other platform offers such a valuable tool .

Definitely a great tool to have tucked away in the seller financing tool belt!!! 

I put materials and new tools on Lowes card first.

It's more about putting properties into a "best use" funnel and having many acquisition tools in your tool belt...one of them being a lease option.

I am happy to buy lunch (or send an online gift card if distant), I'm pretty good with computers, coding, and business/system processes, I worked quite a bit as a laborer earlier in life so I'm happy to help with some cleanup/construction and have my own tools, and am also willing to throw down some cash if needed.
