Once I have a contract on a property I'm purchasing I usually have them supply me a key.  

Hi all - does anyone know of a list service that supplies non-owner-occupied properties, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

At that point, find a partner in some capacity who supplies what you lack, and go start knocking down deals.

The connection isn't only from the direction of the DP to the Cash Flow...it works both ways, and it's that 2nd direction this is usually missed...and is the most important.The cost of the property to you is what you pay out of pocket...not the Purchase price plus interest, since the tenant is supplying the funds (rent) to pay the mortgage payment. 

There just isn’t a cheaper place to live and there is no new supply in the pipelineThat being said we have only seen rents go one direction for a decade.  

-Total dollar volume increased 12.8 percent to $3.1 billion;-The single-family home median price rose 2.2 percent to $250,000, achieving a July high;-The single-family home average price was up 2.2 percent to $312,727 – also a record high for a July;-Single-family homes months of inventory reached a 4.3-months supply, up from 4.1 months last July and just slightly below the 4.4-months supply reached in June.

It could be a $400 suit supply suit.

We are all troumaticed from what happened ten years ago, but that was not an economic recession, it was a sub-prime mortgage crisis combined with a overproduction on new homes (a LOT more supply than demand, often driven by speculation and hot money).

Don't place too much value on this "estimate", true value is largely determined by sold comps (in the single family space) and supply/demand.

You don’t have to worry about supply and demand and whether or not your property is going to sell for the price you anticipated.
