If someone what to see some data but does not have access to MLS.

Hello,I have decided to invest out of state and have spent the majority of the weekend scouring forums, websites (Zillow, Realtor, Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor, and many more), blogs to put together a spread sheet to "try" and help me narrow down my choices.Criteria:Budget $$Active Listings (I used Zillow data for Feb.

I would ensure you know your own criteria with regards to cash on cash, return on investment, and return on equity as good examples.  

Just go to Property Data Store and select State & County and/or Create a new account.Have fun...

I actually already data mine my target county's public records for homeowners with equity, and I could easily re-run the analysis for Seniors who have owned their house forever.

It took me about 6 months to build this operation from scratch, because I had to make adjustments on the criteria I wanted apply in each of the verticals (I ended up with 9 channels), figure out how to get this info in the first place, then put in procedures to automate this process somehow (I started off with hiring VAs overseas, which in itself is a learning process, and now with the help of my IT friend who has partnered up with me, is in the process of automating the data extraction process using AI/machine learning). 

They put it up on a tablet if in person, and it not only makes them look 'cool' but less paper, easy to reference, data storage for waiting lists, and you can always print the application if need be.And echoing @Christopher Giannino We charge whatever the credit check fee is, and apply it to the 1st month's rent if accepted. 

Even experienced syndicators look to loan guarantors to ensure that their operations are running smoothly. 

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.

I have no idea where CoStar gets its data, but my only guess is that the numbers are skewed by added units coming to market?
