I use the three that I see most often on this forum: Rentometer.com, Craigs List, and real estate web sites like Zillow.

I simply warn people about shady turn key operators, which we both know exists in this industry.Thanks mate,I should be at this years IMN also.Let's catch up.Columbus in my opinion is too expensive and doesn't have the cashflow like a tertiary market like Toledo.Plus, there is lot of competition there.Yes, the potential for appreciation is higher but betting on appreciation is speculative.I like looking at the fundamentals of the deal and not getting swayed by the data.Data can easily be manipulated to make any market look great.Finding the right team that knows what they are doing is a different story.Thanks again.ps.

I “read” (audiobook) Brandon’s book on managing rental properties and he refers to a web page for the many forms and lists for his processes.

It's web based and free.

Who has experience switching from one master meter serving a park to converting to individual meters and in the meantime, discovering leaks from a huge web of water lines, any suggestions?

But buy fundamentals, cash flow, cost per sq ft etc.

If there is nothing fundamentally wrong... no harm done.

Virginia only requires you fill out a single page web form with name, address, phone, etc., then you pay via CC on the next page and it gives you your Articles of Organization. 

Perhaps looking on the tax assessor's web site to see if the property owner owns the house in his/her name.

Ultimately, I'm trying to buildup a pile of cash within a certain time frame to do larger commercial investments with higher potential gains (this part I'm sure about - don't try to convince me to stay forever in residential haha).Assuming the fundamentals are correct, the next question is that of taxes.
