@Drew SygitOh, I forgot to ask - any free tool recommendations for determining the various classes of neighborhoods in different regions?

Do you have some tool for determining the median credit score for a given neighborhood?

I tell my clients all the time that the quality of your property will directly determine the quality of your tenants.This is a very important rental property investing fundamental most new investors always forget or ignore simply because they are just too desperate for  "Cash-Flow".

A zoning ordinance determines how properties can and cannot be used.

Could you share how much upfront investment is typically required to determine whether a project is worth pursuing?

I knew nothing about renovations, home ownership, or property management, but I had a vision, determination, and a mentor in my dad.

You'd have to do the research locally, market by market, to determine who the players are.

It's of vital importance that you speak with your GP to determine the root cause of the capital call so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not you should provide it. 

Understanding your market, what you are offering, and the kind of tenant you can expect to attract and KEEP will help you determine how to screen.

How could I determine how much demand there is?
