Wondering if there is a good place to find data on the volume of vacation rental transactions by area and date. The idea is that I am looking into purchasing a vacation rental property within 100 or so miles of where ...

I am really happy that I found this website. this website is crazy resourceful.

Changing the streets from one way to two way has not improved traffic flow in my opinion and I have lived in the area 60+ years.

You have to drive up and down every street while making a list of all the blighted, vacant and run down properties, then you have to plug each one into a spreadsheet, then look up the owner name and mailing address on the assessor website, then plug that info into the spreadsheet, etc, etc, etc.

I have just started reading this book, signed up on the Bigger Pockets Website and will no longer make excuses, or keep putting this off because I don't want to look back anymore and thing: What if?

You can search on their website for recorded deeds and liens. 

@Skyler MartinsonMy property so far has had negative cash flow.I had a four month vacancy last year, it took about a month to get contractors into the house to get it rent ready (just fresh paint and minor fixes), another month to get it actually listed on the usual websites where people look for rental properties and then it took the remaining two months to get the property approved by HUD.

I explain that at my website.

Hi all,I'm considering a fourplex in a secondary market, and while researching the property on the county website, I found an assignment of leases and rents to the bank.

very mixed reviews. i understand their position but its not industry norm.. what i have heard others say is that their criteria becomes so hard for 100% financing they can never find a deal that works.. and they just lose the 3k.. or should i say they bought 3k info package.. and what others say is you get the hard sell on pay ing the 3k up front when the owner off the company comes on here and says NO you dont need to pay it.. but thats not what others say in posts on this website.
