@David Miller the property itself is great, the area is working towards building a casino, and rentals fill quick, it’s literally just the road that’s a weird quirk.

During the past several months, I have become highly interested in REI and have gained a wealth of knowledge by browsing this site, reading through forums, listening to podcasts, etc., and figured it is finally time that I jump in. 

Banks don't use the term "ARV," unless they happen to be people that browse biggerpockets.com. 

I have started looking around and browsing the resources available, and learning about the industry, generally preparing to make by first investment in 1-2 years when the timing is right.This is all great, but I have questions regarding market research and how people here approach it.

I particularly enjoy browsing through county records although I'm not sure if it's the most effective method.

You may have the bedroom count, but sqft is very low for that rent, your probably closer to $1700-1800 than over $2000 in that area, maybe north of 210 Shandon Hills, maybe the Del Rosa/Sterling area, San Grogonia area, close to Highland or casino area might get closer to those rents.It looks like your trying to Finance with an FHA loan, watch out for mortgage fraud, SB has been a hotbed of mortgage fraud in the past and it is much more of an issue today than in the past, not saying they are looking to lock people up but occupancy fraud is one of the most common forms of fraud and lenders do look for it.

I have more free time then I would like, so I spend countless hours browsing the internet to find blogs, books, videos, and discussion forums to learn from.

I think you can get it, but not through the usual browsing county tax sites. 

The best deal on the strip is the 24 hour buffet, which is all you can eat buffet at various casinos for a period of 24 hours.

Thanks guys, whew census is already getting the affect of the recent government shutdown, I browsed through the site, and it’s not the clearest on how to generate the data you might need.
