@Lindsay DennyHello and Welcome to BiggerPockets, the Best Real Estate site on the web.

If a property doesn't cash flow then really you're just gambling that it will go up.Here in KWC I focus on the $300-$500k price range because they're pretty homes and easy to sell.

When screening out-of-state applicants, I've sometimes had to pay a small fee and sometimes had to go through a simple registration process (depending on each Municipal/State site) - but nothing that has been overly burdensome.I'm not sure what's offered in your area, but a quick Google search with terms like "(area in question) court records" or "(area in question) public records" should yield some info.I don't know what tools Cozy.co uses to screen applicants, but twice they approved applicants that I turned down - based on information I found with a less than 5-minute web search.

What the underwriter is going to be thinking if the account she is looking at constantly dips below/above the cash to close + reserves number: "Oh, so he's gambling with his home buying money.

Every time someone tells you it can't be done, all you have to do is point them to this web site to see the thousands of people already doing it. 

And the chances of that happening may be low, but you still have to be cognizant that it is a gamble.
