Average rental rates, vacancies, competition, growth, appreciation, etc..Ive heard of scrolling through Zillow and collecting information by looking at properties for sale/rent but was wondering if there is a site where all of this information is easily accessible or any ideas for better ways to go about it.Thanks in advance!

An interest rate that works for her. 

If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

Id keep looking if it was not an approved short sale ( even an approved short sale takes a very very long time and theres no guarantee that you will even close on the house after months of waiting). q1)There are plenty of non traditional lenders that could offer you construction financing if the numbers make sense but it will cost you with points and a higher rate.

Firestone park and Goodyear Heights are nice areas that get good rental rates and have lots of demand. 

And, analyzing ROI, CoC, and rent vacancy rates, etc are all manual. 

There are plenty out there with fair rates and lower fees.

Based on what you've told us, your rate should be at prime (7.5%), unless you are over 80% LTV, then it would be prime +1.Jeff

We just started managing 4 tiny homes on 1 lot with a shared pool and they are booking great at a rate commensurate with larger homes.   

Or put in your interest rate here, and your loan balance there.The art is where I think most people struggle, and I don't think this can really be done without real world knowledge.
