The result for a background check using Zillow Rental Property Manager's site came back with a result of "N/A".

Some of the national data sites have pricing suggestions that run both high and low.

I really would like an app or site that allows you to compile a list of properties with notes on the spot, and bonus points if it pulls up any info on the property as well. 

Then go to the different sites that come up and find where it says contact and then send them a message asking them to add you to their buyers list. 

I tried the "fix it" option on the Stessa site, and it constantly gave me the error that there was a problem with my bank?

I would only do on 1+ acre properties.

I'll start doing some research. 

A great REALTOR will help you gather rental history and the cost to own and show you good sites for pulling rental projections, but you will need to do your own calculations.Everyone's mileage varies.

In short, yes PS can do everything DM can do and more.

See what the $19k was for first, it may have been neccessary, but still that does not make it ok for them to do it without a signed CO.You can ask an attorney a few questions using sites like Avvo or Rocket for not much $$$.
