doing this will tell me how much I am eligible for without any money down.research the areas better, such as school district, travel time to businesses, travel time to UT at Austin (for graduate students) and Austin community college.if I go with an SFR I think I will need to aim near UT or central Austin because my target market will be young professionals or graduate students to rent out rooms since I will be living in.however if it is a duplex I can aim for both locations near businesses and in a school district, because I do not wish to invest in a duplex unless atleast one side is a 3/2 because it will be more attractive for a family. if the other side is a 2/1 I can rent out the other room that I will not be living in.

Our prior tenant screening company provided us a report within an hour or so.Our new tenant screening company touts same day results in their advertising, their auto-generated reply indicates 8 to 10 hours, and it is taking close to that to get our reports.

So yes, ONE of the products we advertise uses this as part of the marketing, just like a home improvement store may show a particular carpet and tout it's benefits on a billboard, or a car dealer will show special price and financing for one model of a car. 

But several thousand dollars for gurus, especially ones touting their services?

Everyone gets a business card on a magnet that touts "We buy apartments and mobile home parks."

He is a hard money lender who touts being able to find hard money within 48 hrs if the need arises.
