I wont waste everyone's time hear, but if you want to hear how bad things can go with a rental property, feel free to contact me at (the website didn't allow me to post my email). 

Can anyone direct me to some website or places , ways to best get leads to call?

Check out their website.

If the owner is not there I will look it up on the tax assessors website and will stop by their home or mail them and mention of my interest in their property. 

My website is in my signature line.

@Bola A  I will look at various websites,  including ones regarding population,  biggest employers, income, crime and home ownership. 

Louis elsewhere on this forum but know the market well, it's very street by street, have good boots on the ground, and this website exists because the founder lost a lot of money in cheap St.

Go on the bcbs or human website and get a quote like auto insurance and anticipate a 2 to 5% increase every year.

If you are wanting to find properties on your own, I've found that Shorewest Realtors website (shorewest.com) is pretty helpful. 

Great find on this website, could be helpful to others trying to find average cost vs value add in projects: http://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2018/
