And asking others to tell you how to do it, go in and ask KFC, Apple, Nike, the local top Dentist, really anyone in any industry who is leading, ask them to just give you everything to be top producer too, see how well that goes.

I typically advised my clients to use 85% - 90% of Zillow's estimated rent.Craigslist is also good - Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples 🍎 As @Lee Ripma mentioned and that I confirmed with you, MF rent less than SFH.Continue to put in the work and your eyes will eventually be trained to spot great deals from 1 mile away 😀.Rentometer is pretty accurate and I rely solely on it for years before I became a Realtor.BP Insight is also not 100% accurate, especially for Multi-Family.Once you crush your numbers and you want to confirm your numbers on a property that checked your criteria, then reach out to your Realtor for comparable as this is part of their job and fiduciary duty to you as their client.You have the right mindset and attitude.Keep crushing the numbers man!

How about those apples?

Even this isnt straight forward as every contractor splits line items differently, so there is a good bit of work involved to get apples to apples comparisons.

You are right, I should have kept the example apples-to-apples and included the 1 point and 9% interest into the expenses.

Be careful to compare quotes apples to apples.

Apples to oranges. 

Rialto and San Bernardino in the inland empire, Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley in the hIgh desert are all good options.

Comparing Apples to Apples IsoCore is $2.89/sqft and Traffic Master is $2.29

If you are doing all these houses from credit and leverage and one little house upsets the apple cart...........guess what.
