Do you have an address and any rental data you can share with me in private? 

I live in the area and would love to ensure that the location thrives!

I am trying to get access to the MLS to pull historical data on sales and find potential leads but am having difficulty.

So serious we decided it is best to leave the beautiful San Diego area for a better market.We noticed Ohio cities have really high rent ratio (we downloaded data from Zillow on rent ratio by city in the USA).

Unless you have the actual financial data to back your analysis you would be better served staying conservative using something closer to the 50% rule for expenses.It could be a possible deal if you could have a lower Purchase price and/or room to raise rents.

Before doing a renewal, you should always review the tenant's payment history and inspect the rental to ensure they're maintaining it properly.

I suggest: Do all you can to make sure your Loan Officer is on board with your plan, and, try to ensure that the properties you buy can easily justify getting all your outlay back (even though they're only lending 70-75% ARV), and voila!

This resource, http://www.realestateiq.co/provides from the MLS data on off market deals, CMA, county data specifically to the Texas market.They charge monthly based on the geographic area you choose.

My goal is to ensure that you have a five-star stay!”

I haven’t done much research on it, aside from the data wise it is supposedly good for real investing at this time.
