Additionally, the Courthouse Online platform is a helpful tool for property assessment data, including ownership and sale history; you’ll just need your property’s Control Number to get started.The Property Mapper is great for visuals, but it sometimes lags with the latest updates, so checking with the Recorder of Deeds or using Courthouse Online will give you the most accurate information.

It's just trying to interpret the data like everyone else.

Hi Jim, if the property isn't being used as a STR currently, certain DSCR lenders can use data like AirDNA to qualify for financing.

If you are interested in more data about the area, enter the zip code (37208) into areavibes.com or city-data.com.

I received wrong information from people in the Portugal RE industry before so I'm not super confident the person I talked to is correct I'm just trying to get more data points.In case it's useful for others these are some other bits of info I've learnedRefinancing is possible but it is more expensive than conventional (usually the spread is 1-2% higher) and it is necessary to explain to the bank what will be done with the money.It is not necessary to wait to own the property for a certain time to obtain mortgage credit.

I just sent them a larger list with a bigger size to test again and if it returns as bad as the first time, I'd be looking for a new company.

- **Market Analysis**: Gather data on the local market, including comparable sales, average days on the market, and trends.

Nothing is 100% accurate, so you will have to review the data to ensure you are not wasting $ on dead ends (property just sold/on MLS, recently rented, etc).

I like them both, in general, but the best way to find a town to invest in outside of where you live if it's not affordable and if you don't want to be withing driving distance easily (recommended) is to make two lists:1. every town you have ever lived in or visited for more than a month2. every town your closest friends and family live (the ones you like)Then you take those two lists and see where they overlap with the data or lists you are using.

It's like the marshmallow test for adults.
