I was told by some agents that unpermitted kitchen can result in insurance not covering damages. You may want to check that.

One can do it but, its easier if you have apartments, you know what's going on with your other units in same community and then you can handicap units based on size, location etc knowing historic data. Single family homes is much different. If next house gets a renter with aggressive dog (e.g.), your rent does down.

AtomData is surely too pricy for me.

Get best person in that will stay long term. Adjust rent over time. 

More rent from person who will damage property is not really productive.

@Danny Kaminsky my experience with Rent prices is also similar. I have never been able to rent at "rent estimate" provided by zillow and also seen that zillow zestimate changes every day and it follows what I list at. I am sure better model can be generated, however I think not enough data is available for it.

I will specifically be interested in accurate model to make better decisions on the purchase/sell or keep for rentals.

Zillow estimates are a joke no doubt. I have seen estimates change every few days in both directions. Often times they try to follow trends where prices are available, but lag the trend.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko, yes being disqualified is what is keeping me, otherwise I am ready to buy my note myself. I will try to contact the resources you pointed. Seems like no one wants to lend right now.

Depends on what is allowed. Is traditional refinance allowed?

Zillow is getting strange day by day.  Many complaints against them, but right now they own the most viable properties frequented by renters and buyers.

Just to update. No not all keys were returned. Things were left in washer etc.

We decided not to pursue notice. Just the regular damage. Found tenant soon and moved on.
