We'll know more about the market's expectations for the size of the rate cut after we see the first two weeks of economic data in September.

I am finding fairly positive economic data but have not run across many on these forums who invest there.

Get yourself a fancy CRM system to handle all that precious investor data.

For outbound, you’ll need to get lists of addresses and tons of data from platforms that pull county records on a daily basis like bathleads and propstream so you can filter those records more easily by potential motivation indicators like foreclosure, eviction, probate, etc.

I’m a Data Scientist living in Los Angeles, and must invest out-of-state.

Interested in learning how that worked out as getting ready to purchase my first in the Smokies and with the Property Management fee, the cash flow looks to be upside down and the rates that they are also charging are lower than I would have thought in looking at the actual rental data 

Of course this is only as good as the staff doing the data input.  

If you are looking at KC area and lees summit I have some good data for you.

You have the area experience and data to help you, but courthouse steps auctions are blind bidding (other than what you can find through the windows), all cash, 10 percent down at the time of close, and not always clear on all of the liens associated with the house (tax liens, HOA liens, utility liens, etc.). 

Keep in mind, data changes constantly.
