Hi, I'm trying to find a credit bureau rent reporting service.  

We can definitely explore options for a mortgage on your $350k property to fund both your current renovation and the purchase of your next investment property.For the new property, we can also consider a separate mortgage to cover its purchase and rehab costs.Regarding the rural location, while it may limit leverage to around 65% of the property's price/value, we can work within these parameters.Given your equity position and experience, I'm confident we can structure a solution that meets your needs.

I will look on the regular local markets to get rent information.

Nothing on vacancy rates though.When I was trying to determine demand for Cincinnati, I selected about 20 listings near the location I was focused on, and tracked them for several months.

Looks like we have to raise the rents.

We will be payed for this management and maintenance work.The equity and or rents will be split based on the partners equity in the project, be it money, land or labor.

Is it worth taking a chance on a house that is good looking, at a nice location etc.

Compared to Washington, the center of the country will look cheap and rents will be high relative to the price.Why does any property sit on the market? 

I don’t think I’d have offered the free months rent.

You want to bank reserves there to see the future cap ex because if you don't, you get another property and then two furnaces go out in the winter at each and you need 20k and now they both cashflow nothing.Your asset will appreciate and you can value add to rent add by making smart decisions on upgrading tenants.
