Zillow estimates?

[Joseph Daugert]

Don't know much about anything in this field. I do know some of the basics about screening tenants and finding lease formulation help but I don't know if or when I may get started.

I'm 59 years old, disabled, and living on social security. I do have money saved and money that is willed to me. Enough to buy and renovate 2 or 3 houses in the older cheaper neighborhoods in the Saint Louis area. I'm trying to keep some houses on a list to get going when the time comes. Are the Zillow rent estimates worth any consideration or are they just pie in the sky guesses?

 I couldn't decide whether to post this in the beginner section or the buying real estate section but I do need the info in regards to decisions on purchases, so here it is.

Thank you.

Joe
