You're kind of all over and I'd say first narrow down a county, max 2, then pick about 3 to 5 towns to drill down on and you know like the back of your hand.

@Jay Hinrichs demonstrated the challenges and shared a fairly narrow fact pattern where specific performance is plausible.

but smaller mom pop C D class sprinkle in a little B and NO THANK U

We have acquired three multi-let/multi family homes in Northcliff, Blairgowrie and Kensington B and are targeting young professionals.We generally let out a 2Bedroom flatlet around R5.5-6.5k if that gives you any indication.All our Rentals are cashflow positive and refinance 85-100% of the money out

By contrast, secondary markets and deals with a restrained mark-to-market opportunity can see pricing in the 5% to 6% band, as investors in these markets are less willing to apply negative leverage beyond the first couple of years.

San Diego was 3rd in every one that I had seen and was narrowing the gap on Los Angeles and San Francisco (the top 3 cities were CA cities). 

The local abstractors banded together and brought their records together to try to reconstruct them.Modern day, I'm concerned that a courthouse will become subject to a ransomware attack freezing all transactions.

Specifically, knowing what size of property you can afford, then narrow down on Airbnb/VRBO to the similar properties and see what the properties with the highest nightly rate or the highest review/ratings look like and what amenities they offer.

Skips run me 12c per record and the list pulling is 2.5 cents (Which I feel is a little pricey but I can really narrow down my filters so I still use it)
