Hi Mike,First, I want to emphasize that my intention was never to provide misleading information.

Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

I provide short term rental furnishing and renovation finish list that includes paint colors, light fixtures, cabinets etc.

This also depends on how are you calculate cash flow and what you're using to discount for expenses.

@Liz Lynn Great example of a reason to do your own DD first rather than depending on realtors/others.

Just to provide one example: I took a business meeting with someone who was looking for funding for a new subdivision development.

I was thinking if I can talk to my neighbor about sharing the cost (I, the landlord, personally provide labor and my neighbor provide material (e.g. fence pickets)).

It just depends.
