Hey all,I have heard of many property management companies that do a mid-lease review of their properties.

You can also do google search for reviews.  

If you haven't had a chance to review it yet, check out the BP beginner's guide to make sure you're aware of all your investing options.https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingRegarding wholesaling or any of the other investing strategies, a good place to begin is by deciding what market (zip codes, neighborhoods, etc) you want to invest in and then learning the numbers for that market.

We have a vacation rental in San Antonio, and the numbers look something like this:Market Value of the Property By Itself:  $166,000Value of Furnishings, Appliances, Etc:  $17,000Net Income for 2015:  $21,000 (converted to a short-term rental in March of last year)We have accumulated a great portfolio of reviews, etc, but we're are looking to utilize the proceeds from the sale of this rental to re-invest in a commercial property. 

Need advice on what types of metrics to show on this data visualization that I'm creating to help find good areas to invest in.

We tell them not to sign anything until we can review their findings, answer questions,  and help them pick the best deal. 

@Joey Clairessa M.You can get a house 'under contract' without paying the current owner and money .... but it's not completely free, you'll probably want your contract reviewed by a lawyer, and you'll want the contract notarized.Also, I think it's worth mentioning that you current owner will expect that signing of a contract will have the eventual result of them getting something (money).  

3) And last, get them to write online reviews of you on Zillow.

When we are estimating cap. rates and other metrics we are including numbers we know down to the penny as well as others that are complete guesses.  

Would be happy to review your first deal with you.
