@Sumit Kaul- Can't really speak to that market in particular but ways to estimate the potential rent include rentometer.com, zillow.com (rent zestimate), and look on craigslist.org.  

Determine what you are looking for in the best multifamily property; this could include things like location size condition rental potential cash flow projections value-add opportunities etc.

I am looking at potential leads in these counties and would like to start lining up the folks. 

 I’m starting out and I’d like to know how would you go about doing an inspection on a potential deal to calculate rehab costs if the property doesn’t have any services turned on?

I do not know of any such sites; however, my clients, when talking to a potential seller, listened to their pain points and tried to understand and empathize with their core 'why?'

Learn his four-square method and you'll know enough to be dangerous.

I am also going to talk to more of my family and friends to see if I could potentially work out a partnership.

Considering the local anti landlord laws what would be the best way to handle this to avoid any potential issues from the legal perspective?

I understand the potential value to convert but would like to use an outstanding calculator to actually show the value of different conversion options and investment percentages.  

Building equity and e­arning additional income are potential be­nefits.
