Research Tools for potential Vacation Rentals

[Wes Phelps]

Iv tried to do some research around this topic but almost seems like there is TOO much info. 

I have a cash buyer whom im partnering with, but having some trouble figuring out where to start. Obviously we have zillow to search for properties. This issue is, where specifically do I look? Is there a formula that I can use to calculate whether or not its a good investment based on cash flow and expenses? Needless to say I'm pretty fresh in this space... so help appreciated.
