Hello BP Friends,I'm going to post a house that I currently have under contract and include all data points that I have.

Being success hungry driven people that we are, we gave wholesaling a try last year.

@Leland Smith It is nice to talk about comps but I strongly suggest you begin by looking at YouTube videos on the Uniform Mortgage Data Program.

I like to look at census and job growth data and see how or if the area I'm looking to invest in is growing.  

Without any data from your profile, I can only assume you're trying to  use the wholesaling strategy. 

@Jane Guerreso the credit bureaus will typically not allow individual landlords to report payment data to them without going through an extensive membership process.  

I don't have calculated statistical data to back this claim up, and it could be regional, but it often seems that appraisers are more generous when it comes to appraised market rents than they are when it comes to value.I'll not bore you with the math, but the arithmetic is more generous if you do not intend to live in the property than if you do intend to live in the property (If you aren't going to live there, it is in theory possible to have a calculated DTI of 0.000%... which is in part why commercial financing uses DSCR not DTI). 

At higher properties you need to use a lower %, and this is driven by your market.

Zillow gives you property tax data and I have not found where Redfin shows this data.  

I'll send to buyer's over the last 12 months but instead of spending the time on the Auditor's Site, use a data scrapper to mine the data for you.
