We use the same databases that IDI uses and we actually add 8 others on top of it to get even more accurate data.

or one title/city is holding the entire database to be corrected if something gone wrong ?

Market rent for each is 1950-2100 (the 1600 tenant was there when I bought it and super low rent but great tenants so i made a plan with them to raise it to market over the next three years as the jump would be way to much all at once). mortgage currently with insurance and taxes escrowed is 2100.I have a really low rate which makes this decision hard but the equity would help me fund the next 2-3 deals and enable me to start scaling faster

The latter seems to provide a middle ground that could enable professional maintenance oversight while allowing me to retain some control, mainly through tenant communication and management portals like RentRedi.

@Lance JohnsonYou could reverse engineer the county assessor site API (through inspecting network traffic), then iterate through all possible parcel numbers, storing the results and their data in a database.

This enables you to possibly profit from the property's appreciation even in the event that your initial cash flow is negative.Opportunity Cost: Investing the money you would have saved by making a 20% down payment on a different property might diversify your holdings and raise your total return over time.Appreciation: The return on the lower original investment may surpass the negative cash flow if the property increases at a rate of 5%.Considerations:Market Stability: Although Florida has traditionally seen rapid growth, it's important to take the stability and possible swings of the market into account.

It's a little disturbing that anyone can type your name into the county's real estate database and pull up every property you're associated with.

As an example I have been in the business for almost 15 years so the sites you mentioned I have a database of thousands of sites I have built up over the years with my network.Even within the larger NNN listing brokerages lot's of their properties never go to the main company website.

I would recommend from the cash out from this deal to find a duplex and live in one side and rent the other, that will propel you quickly to enable long term success with little risk. 

There are also changes being made to I-30 to enable the North and South to intermingle a little easier.
