I'm new to real estate investing but I've helped a lot of realtors and investors... which is why I'm now getting into investing as well.Here are some things that you can do pretty quickly since you already have the funds and data from PropStream (BTW, how are you liking that?

If there's a hole, it may be a red flag.b) sensitivity analysis: I examine all the assumptions, and make sure I can live with the worst case scenarios.c) "Stall and see": if they are getting money over multiple years, and there is no penalty for investing later, I would usually wait so I get some real performance data, versus having to look at theoretical pro forma information.d) Recession stress test: I will not invest in anything, until I subject it to recession level stress and see if I can live with the result.

Some data to chew on.

But these should get you started and there are plenty of good sites to do your research, like data use, city-data, area vibes, neighborhood scout.Please, feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions or just want to chat!

MLS access and control of information is a contentious issue for agents and consumers, Zillow and the like are dominating the market with this data making it harder for agents in the ensuing years, heck harder for everyone.Better question to ask is what information are you looking for?

And zillow's has incorrect data for beds/baths and sq ft.

Though I don't have any hard data, I think it would be fair to speculate that a very large portion of the BP community has very grandiose ideas that will lead them to financial freedom (which can mean something different for everybody) and even though there is a wealth of resources available not only here but across the web that can make different investing strategies easy to digest in a paint-by-numbers format, the truth is that it's an incredible grind day in and day out.Even those that have achieved "financial freedom" (or at least those we perceive to have) are still at it everyday, preserving and building upon their accomplishments. 

Also, it appears there is not a way to run a pdf report or export data into a different calculator.

We purchased a property locally, remodeled it (including adding a bedroom), added ~$300k in value, then refinanced to get cash out for investment properties out of state.

You would need to acquire data from outside sources. e.g. if you asked her what branch of the military she was in, who her last commanding officer was and some other details, I'm guessing you would get more riled responses as she's thinking this isn't as easy of a put over as she expected.
