I currently am using spokeo, white pages, dc public data base sites like court cases online etc...

One problem I am having is getting good comps for several of the leads that I have ...I am using Redfin.com mainly ...because I do not have access to the MLS ...I heard allot of bad things about Zillow and trulia not giving accurate comps ...what is your opinion?

Ha)Anyways, I like the idea, but want to make sure I am using the right sources and that I have an exit strategy.Thoughts??

However, I'm not finding a lot of tools to help track ROI performance of [rental] properties.I am using Quicken Rental Property Manager.

I am using a private lender for the down payment and am negotiating with the owner for owner financing otherwise I will use a mortgage broker.

line is a joke when uttered amid mass layoffs (amusing link), and stock valuations that are down >30% YTD across the board [see stock tickers: rkt, uwmc, hmpt]).A part of that "baseline" is always refinances, but anyone that rate/term refinanced in 2020/2021 will likely not rate/term refinance again for at least 6-10 years, just as folks that rate/term refid in 2012 ("omg 3.375%, rates can NEVER get that low again!") 

I am using a HELOC and possibly my IRA to fund my first FLIP. 

I am using a VA loan so I will have no money down into the property so my cash on cash ROI is odd to conceptualize for me in a way that makes sense.

They do this because they have to pay fees based on a % of the final bid......so this way they discourage bidders from running the price up to $150 k before they “buy it back”.It was amusing, back when the auctions were live, newbies would show up thinking they were going to buy all these houses for $200, because they saw the “published” price for all these foreclosures “selling for $100”.

I am using postcard mania for my bulk orders, if you are with them for awhile they email out specials and have great customer service.
