Hello Terry, If you're looking to find houses that are in pre-foreclousure you can use a website like www.foreclosure.com and you can get the list of properties and start marketing to them. 

When you tell them they will only get paid when the loan closes, they will disappear.If required, the only money you should ever send to the lender is for a credit check.

Short term rentals are legal when the host is living in the same apartment as the guests and there are no more than 2 guests staying with the host."

The cashflow should cove ALL of the expenses for the primary (mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, etc) AND put money in their pocket.

There are not a ton of comps on Zillow or other websites that I have checked and it was last sold a while ago so even these resources are unable to give me a quote.  

Ask to see the approved final site plan for the first phase.

Very exciting you are looking to get into the RE investing world.Thanks for the interest in Rent To Retirement.
