@Huso Akaratovic, try Bank of Internet.

I find tax delinquent properties in areas I am targeting (driving/internet).

If you don't have one, search the internet for one.

I’ve also had good luck with bank of the internet through Costco if you get a membership there before applying get the black card, it gets you $300 off. 

boy I would not be fishing around the internet for this info it should take all of 30 minutes to get all these questions answered by simply walking into the planning department and talking with a planner as they walk you through the regs.. 

The biggest advantage I have to getting started is the internet and a forum of landlords that tell you almost to a "T" what to do so you don't have the problems of landlords past. 

Well...that's a pretty broad question.

And before the entire spectatorship of his death—all obstructing walls have been torn down and the great figures of the empire stand in a ring upon the broad, soaring exterior stairways—before all these he dispatched the messenger.

I am an engineer so I use a detailed spreadsheet.I add up all my costs and these are many and subtract that from my estimated income.I look at similar properties and see what rates they are getting and how often they are booked.Excel does the math for you once you have all the numbers.Remember for a VRBO you have to pay for the utilities (don't forget cable or satellite TV and internet), consumables and furnish the place.

DISCLAIMER: I am neither an attorney nor a CPA, and I don't play one on the internet.
