For rental comps, tools like Rentometer, Zillow, and Apartments.com are great for comparing similar properties.Feel free to share a specific property or area, and I’d be happy to help guide you through running rental comps.

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

However, there is no specific holding period contained in the tax code or regulations and there is no "safe harbor." 

If I ever have specific questions, I look through google and then use the BP forums as another source.

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

Let me know if you’d like specific product suggestions—I’d be happy to help! 

What specific details do you look for in a lead (e.g., financial info, property condition)?

But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post. 

I have 7 MTR and my income is 1.7x my long-term rates ($1200 vs $2000), but that is very specific to my properties, my location, my business model, etc. 

Those are the only properties I need to give a specific accounting for as far as my debt goes.
