Which this is basically what I do now and immediately block and report.I really wish I knew where they got my cell phone number from...as attached to my rentals.. as I'd tell that agency to stop selling my data!  

Hi Itay, I'm a vacation rental designer that specializes in data-driven design to maximize ROI.

Some might not be livable at purchase but 5k still seems cheap unless there is something off with the data. maybe the prices were reduced on unlivable properties due to back taxes being part of the deal for the purchase.

I'm looking at expanding into out of state and just trying to figure out what questions I should ask/data I should gather to make an informed decision!

They can't assess all the subjective data like overall layout, view from the living room window, the dogs next door that bark all day, the width of doorways, size of individual rooms, quality of kitchen cabinets and appliances, etc.The best thing to do is study your market regularly.

They do minimal at best verification of the data the applicant provides.

I like https://quantmaps.com/ if you want to overlay some data. 

Figured there would be a few data points left out of the equation' that I would need to circle back with :) .There are additional units not rented at this time which could be rented to increase the income.

However I don’t have any real data just a personal opinion.What’s your thoughts?
