But you will only find them by casting a broad net and sifting through all of the responses that you receive.You are correct.

@David Cheung , I'm going to have to quit my job just to sift through all these BS leads to find the real gems!!

When I analyze properties I do a bunch of the sifting and sorting with the numbers to save clients time.

I look for: -estate type: RE (basically general real estate...you don't want small estates)-Status- OPENOnce you have found the type of estates you are looking for, you really just have to sift through legal documents, which will be take some time to understand, but will be beneficial.

Then you'll get the info and you can sort & sift it yourself.

To quickly sift and compare apples to apples, the minimum a property gross to purchase price ratio needs to be 1.67% in markets I underwrite in.So for a 500K house, gross rent would need to hit at least $5000x1.67%, or $8,333 gross.Generally I see STR expenses to be between 35-40% of gross if you have management in place, cleaning revenue, maintenance, utilities, etc.

It takes a lot of sifting to find good ones.  

I am not in your market but I have written some things that might help you out with sifting through the agents in your area.

Have fun sifting out all the info.

That should make keeping track of the rental finances much easier than having to sift through your personal transactions.
