I just thought I'd throw this discussion up based on a few recent BiggerPockets blog articles written.

They are too often overpriced.I'm enjoying your blog here on BP!

Blog your progress and what you've gone through.

I need to find someone there that can help me get them out asap but for a modest price as I live in Florida now and do not have a property manager.

I'm seeing a lot of the same cities mentioned here on these lists as well: http://www.texascashflow.com/2016/01/12/which-are-the-best-cities-to-invest-in-real-estate/ https://www.mashvisor.com/blog/best-places-invest-...

The 5-year rule related to Roth conversions (different than the 5-year rule that applies to earnings) determines whether or not the conversion PRINCIPAL will be PENALTY free (the converted amount is NOT taxed “again”).Check this out for more detail than you ever wanted: https://www.kitces.com/blog/un...

Can anyone direct me to a blog, forum or even a video that can show me how to use public records to find leads?

The podcasts, tools, blogs and forums are informative and entertaining.

I'm actually the founder of InvestorCarrot... but I found a few threads here on BP where some of our current Carrot members chat about their experience w/ us... and feel free to connect w/ them directly if you had other questions.But here's a thread: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/80/topics/121972-oncarrotcom---has-anyone-used-for-their-siteThat may help you along in your decision :-)And not if you have, but we actually post our actual conversion and test data on our blog on a weekly basis... and I'd be glad to actually shoot a video for you to show you inside of our database and show you actual tests we're running on actual members websites so you can see realtime conversion numbers.Not sure of any company in this market willing to do that :-)But we're an open book.

I don't need to do any maintenance    I understand that thought process, however if you had purchased a modestly priced home at 2.99% 2 years ago, with 20% down your fixed mortgage payment would likely be less than comparable rentals now.
