I think it's rude frankly as this website is supposed to be a helping, friendly community. 

This is a great website, the only thing that everyone have in common is that everyone invests in real estate.

Im in Houston too, what website are you finding probate info Michael Smith?

@James Wise from Holton-Wise Property Group has a TV show on his website labeled "Tenants from Hell" and I believe they are mostly Section 8 tenants.

They have all utilities on the property so we use electrical and then every couple of weeks we run a water hose to an external tote we use for our water.

John is right about the enemy method, its the only accurate way to estimate revenue.The blanket estimated revenue amounts on analysis websites like AirDNA can be a decent baseline, but generally include too big a pool of properties to give a very precise estimate.The way I use the enemy method: Sign up for a pricing software that has market analysis (I use PriceLabs but most of the pricing softwares have this feature).

looking for suggestions on best methods/websites for marketing a long term rental.

The website was super easy to use and the prospective tenants were able to submit an application, which gave me their income, credit, and background information.

Does the government have a website where we can search?

Honestly, not getting into a political discussion on a real estate website.
