Any recommendations for free tools to do market research?

I think its a scary feeling, like the cost of entry is too high.

The fact that you have a TAX-FREE income is crazy good.

The stone elevation can be expensive but will really move a house quickly with the added curb appeal.Some things I like to add for not much extra cost..

$1,500-$1,600 is about the going rate for a 2/2 in most average areas of BR, but I can see where some neighborhoods would get more.Another thing to think about - if the property is sitting vacant right now and you have ready and willing (and qualified) tenants, then the opportunity cost of waiting an extra month or two is $1,550/month.

However, in California, each LLC incurs an $800 annual franchise tax plus gross receipts fees if revenue exceeds $250,000, and property insurance may cost more.
