What I can say is that the name is deceiving, they are not a private money lender, they will be a hard money lender or brokerage, private investors or the source of funds does not define the type of company they are.

It's expensive, AND I was told by another source that again you need to be part of a realtor company to get this access. 

If that property "leaks" its negativity into another, then dominos into a third, and so on, then you are over leveraged.If none of your properties now, and in the future (ARM), then I don't think of that as being over leveraged since the source of your funds to pay the debt, comes from your tenants.  

But I'm hoping there will be some really good experienced folks out there who are looking for the tradeoff of a percentage split in exchange for an unlimited source that will fund all of the purchase and rehab.

There is a lot of educational sources on this site, please take advantage of them. 

@Cedric Braggs If you haven't done it yet- your local REIA would be a great source to start building a buyers list.

It seems as though an investor needs current and future jobs data, vacancy rates, rental rate in area, crime rates, etc, in order to determine whether a rental property is a good buy or not.Can anyone tell me what are the reliable sources where this type info is obtained.?

Being that I wrote software for a good 18 years, I could really use your source code for said program. 

I agree with Charlie, you definitely need to look at comparable properties and consider what type of upgrades are really needed to make it sell in that specific area and DO NOT just use Zillow to comp the property I would recommend at least 3 or 4 different sources and an investor friendly agent.

The source of funds for the purchase transaction can be documented (bank statements, personal loan documents, HELOC on another property).
