It’s more expensive than PropStream, but the data quality is higher.For ARV calculations, if you don’t have access to the MLS, our Backflip App can provide it (it's good).

So to help cover expenses and see some cash flow would focus on multi-unit property. 

Often times, cheap is expensive!

You could also ask for early occupancy so you can begin to collect rent and take all the holding expenses off their plate.

I also use the Costco/Citibank VISA cash back card to pay for expenses.  

Until then, hopefully you can charge enough to at least cover your expenses. 

Are you trying to afford a house much more expensive than your W2s could cover? 

When investing in real estate, having multiple exit strategies is key.For a single investment property, make sure the numbers work for both scenarios: 1️) If you decide to sell the home, the deal should produce a solid return. 2️) If you need to rent it out, the rental income should cover expenses and provide a profit.Flexibility is what saves you when things don’t turn out as planned.

Instead of paying cash use that money and spread them over multiple dscr loan so I can own more doors and just collect the cash flow after expenses.

The best way to estimate expenses is experience and knowledge of your specific asset type and market.For vacancy, that will depend on your market and the quality/desirability of your type of unit.
