Perhaps if you are handy and with a little search time on the internet tapping various sources you could do it yourself.

I have listened to many podcasts and spent the last year or so periodically reading about REI online, but I figured it was time I began interacting with the community and receive some helpful feedback/constructive criticism.

It also has mold so It is too recent to be the source of damage.

Either from their network or they may have someone on staff that sources properties. 2-Go to local investments clubs to just listen to what folks are doing.

I have hear of several cities in Kansas, Ohio and Tenn but I would like to know why those markets are hot right now in order to make an educated decision as to whether they will continue to be a steady source of renters in years to come.

What online sources do you use to narrow down the search?

No one source is 100% accurate.

That is not  meant as a criticism, simply that is not what they specialize in. 

He is the source.

I'll have to look into those other financing sources.
