The easiest way to do this outside of some sort of scraping tool (which i recommend digging into), is to develop a solid list of ways to look for deals (not just zillow or mls), and then develop a super specific buy box, then just create custom filters with notifications where applicable, you can also use a VA to look through the various acquisition methods and send you a vetted list every day. 

Investment income can probably count as well but I'm guessing they would look at your last couple years taxes to see how much income it generates.

From what I've seen though it could be a great way to generate solid cashflow which could fuel an investment strategy.

Do you think in Dallas or Austin TX will I be able to find properties that can generate some cash flow? 

It should be a quicker build, just a little longer lead time on the custom windows. 

My goal is to generate some passive income.
