If you get a lot of properties it would be fun to have the first tab pulling data for metrics on portfolio performance, monthly cash flow, expenses, etc.

You do all of your own due diligence on what to offer based on the data.

Louisiana is also a very landlord friendly state and that doesn't hurt either.I have been looking at the rental data in New Orleans lately and it seems like there may be a surplus of rentals available, most likely due to the STR rules causing people to switch to regular long-term rentals.

You need to learn to be an expert in some source of stress at finding, filtering for (a data source tool like propstream.com) or buying from a data vender who is good. 

Is anyone using Stessa and importing Airbnb transactions into Stessa? Works really well (I used the CSV option) - but the Stessa import tool does not bring in the GUEST SERVICE FEE from the Airbnb transaction. Any ide...

Some worked out and some didn't be a friend and I  invested about 100k toal in equity and 60k in debt (mostly to fund rehabs)  The rehabs were more expensive then we expected but that was mostly driven by a few vacant properties we bought.  

Out of the 20 letters I've sent, I've had 1 guy get back to me and we were in discussions but weren't able to find a price that worked for the both of us.The issue is that I only have a few houses on my mailing list so far (just places I've walked or driven by that caught my attention), and blindly searching every street and address # to see which houses are actually legal multifamily will take forever and doesn't seem efficient.I know the data is publicly available, I just don't know how to aggregate it in a way that would be efficient and useful for blasting out marketing mailers.Are there any websites that can pull massive lists of all multifamily houses in my area?

@Jeremy HartwigYou are missing a lot of important data, such as median income of the area, rent comps in the area, what current values are.You are buying on actuals, but in many markets that have low supply and have a lot of demand, it makes it difficult buy based on actuals.

I believe it is gathering STR data which is only partially relevant.

Go to a local realtor next time the appeal process is open and ask them to do a CMA on your place and use that data for your evidence when appealing with the county.
