The mistake you are making is it looks like you think you can use the number on the HUD website as your rent amount. 

Directed marketing to pre-foreclosures, a website with seo, networking, driving for $$, go to some local meetings.

I saw it on a website a while back and I was pretty impressed with it.  

The website 51west.properties also scores low on scam advisor ("owner is using a service to hide their identity, high number of suspicious websites on the server, registrar has a high % of spammers and fraud sites, website is (very) young, website appears to be hosted by a company with a bad reputation", all according to https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/51west.properties...)Trust your instincts. 

For bookings, I recommend FF, Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays), Zillow, Facebook (can depend on the area), and websites like ALE solutions for insurance placements

I can accurately estimate utility costs as most util companies have estimated usages and amounts on their websites, but costs like maintenance, CapEx, make ready, etc., are much harder to estimate.

Quote from @Christine Gordon: Quote from @Roi Azoulay: This firm is known to advertise fake distressed properties all over NY and reach out the the actual owner w/attempt to get listing agreement, Unfortunately they are still active and keep doing this for many years and no other website/mls does anything about it. 

You look for the trustee doing the foreclosure and call their office asking for their status website.

Call the number on my website which you can find my googling FarFar Contractors in Cape Coral.
