what is a good data sheet or checklist to use when estimating your rehab? 

A real estate agent is the best person to help you with this because they have real data on sold properties.Once you know the market (including market rents) and the property looks like a good value, get it under contract.  

If you don't ask, unless it is a major issue (e.g. cracked foundation), they may not make you aware of it.As well, many (dare I say most) agents are 'driven' by the Seller.

Hello Wise BP community,I have checked the rent comps (Rentrange, city-data, Zillow, etc) in the area and the numbers do not add up as suggested by the realtor. 

This market is SO different than many markets on the podcasts/blogs that I am really starting to look for data/advice/investing ideas that is transferable to this market and finding it hard!  

What kind of data can you provide to help me make this decision.

This is market-driven, and you have very little control over this.

Pulling comps, filling out contracts, entering data into CRM and deal analyzer tools, organizing contractors and general logistical paperwork and phone calls. 

From this data, you can utilize a website bestplaces.net that will give you a breakdown of the percentage of homes that sold, in various price ranges, for a given zip code.

I'm driven & determined to be successful & I welcome advice on how to be the best at what I do !
