The sellers market is cooling off a bit and we will be seeing data coming in from evictions/foreclosures in very near future.

It all starts with decisions driven by data.

I wouldn't mind having to download the data for the MLS info on an as needed basis or something.I don't know if that is the kind of thing you are talking about. 

In Cleveland, that process has been taking 60-90 days which means that if I am relying on the rental projection from the GoSection8 site, if the offer of rent from the housing authority is below what I can accept, or below market (which is sometimes the case), not only have I lost that market time, but I also have to restart the process of finding a tenant.The website provider has stated that only a housing authority has access to the full scope of rental data; even paying for a premium subscription does not give me access to any better information.

You should gather data to determine how long would it take for you to rent the unit if the tenant leaves.

Then another on the same building refused entry and refused to pay rent. 

Worse-case, you can send the letter to the bureaus and they will remove the negative data.

Hi, I'm about to do my first investment in the US (I have a previous one outside the states).I'm about to put down 80% of my complete savings.The deal I'm looking at (using the pro calculator) is Cashflowing 4000 USD/ month at about 12 % ROI.My money down is around 400K.Above deal is in a high entry barrier marked and based on legal Airbnb operations.

I don't use a column for Balance because I don't care what my balance is.Then, all you need to do is send your Excel file to your CPA and if he is worth half his weight in salt he Exports your data to to his Quickbooks.That is all the small operator needs and it will stand the test of time for many years.I used Quicken when the first PC's were invented.
