Also, I don't have cash right now as it's tied up in the original purchase, rehab and furnishing the place.To continue to move forward with my vision, what creative financing or investing options are out there?

I know that poses a challenge for me when it comes to comps in preparing the numbers for an offer as well as making sure I g wet as much cash out when I refinance.

Where can we find reliable source of REI Market trends?

Depending on what you're looking for, you can find a good mix of affordable properties, especially in the under $200K range.

Quote from @Roohil Hamid: Where are you finding these contractors?

Does anyone have any suggestions for where to find templates for mailers and marketing?

When they have a listing that are similar to properties I own, I want to be foremost in one's thoughts as the natural buyer.  

Second, I'd like to manage each property to make some cash flow to cover my 2 biggest expenses which is housing (covered by house hacking) and transportation.

I’m a great source for finding good deals.  

But as stated above you can go to the record office yourself and find the infomration.
