I later discovered BiggerPockets when Clayton interviewed Brandon Turner.My wife and I, plus four of our closest friends are interested in the BRRRR method for accumulating a portfolio of rental properties.

The areas closest to Glacier, peak in the summer with moderate shoulder seasons and a very slow winter.  

Credit report of 600+ with no current delinquencies, They have an old landlord that I can talk to, and you get the current contact information for 2 of their closest relatives (and you confirm the phone and address is correct).I also make sure that my gut agrees.

He had it in the contract to remove everything.The STEAK as we call it for the developers and where they make there money is the 3 outparcel lots on the map at the road frontage.

I'd start with CU's and/or local bank(s) closest to the property. 

The closest I've found is the Zillow Housing Data page (https://www.zillow.com/researc...) but I have a few issues with the "Rentals" data. 1) The rental data does not breakdown by property type (SFR, condos, etc.)2) There are a lot of zip codes that aren't populated with rent pricesThe "Home Values" data on the the other hand is very comprehensive as you can pull data for SFR, 1 bd condo, 2 bd condo, etc., and it has way more zip codes populated with prices than the rental data does.

They pay what equates to $800-950 a month per student for 4 bd/2ba at the closest university affiliated apartments and on campus.

Bone now, maybe a steak later

Find the closest new construction home to where you plan to build... then think about why no other builders have ventured to where you want to build.

@Michelle Tucker I also researched a little and the great lakes reia seems like the closest.
