However on their top markets I find it to be a lagging indicator and not a good place to identify markets8 as there is more to investing than just proposed cash flow. 

Zillow rent estimator predicts $3000/month I’m not looking to cash flow much year 1.

I've owned a property free and clear for many years now, and I had considered doing a cash-out refi.

Because I want something small, basic and simple I know there are options out there that are free.

@Andres Ruiz everyone wants free software options, but you get what you pay for.Doorloop, Hemlane, Innago, RentRedi, Stessa, Avail, Apartments.com, TenantCloud, TurboTenant, Buildium

Turbotenant’s free tools can be a plus for first-time landlords.Avail (Realtor.com) - 3.9 Stars: A solid rating close to 4 stars, indicating that most users are satisfied.

Will a property cash flow day 1, maybe not unless it has a huge down payment but if your goal is to hold it for 15+ years you should not lose out, especially if its in a good area (which goes back to location location location). 

They will make some good money on selling it at a low price as they purchased for almost nothing and are just looking to dump it for some cash.    

While I do price competitively, I am personally not competing with the "race to the bottom" lenders that will do loans for almost free because their model is volume.

How do I get them back on airbnb and cash flowing???
