The Internet has allowed people to access infinite titles from infinite genres.

I used a variety of Internet resources such as Zillow, Truila, BoA home appraiser, and totalview.com to get a rough estimated value of the property.

Without knowing anything about it, i'd bet it's not a deal and priced too high.

And I'll bet it would be a cash making machine.

Then finally 3) find out what the actual rental values for similar houses are (even if there aren't many in the area go a little father out, which BTW isn't bad since if it one of only a few rentals in the area then it is be more desirable).Your best bet is to find a Relator that can give you a price opinion on the place, and hopefully get you an opinion on rental value.

I've been reading like crazy, listening to podcasts, scouring the internet, but I still don't fell like I know enough to get started.

I have been looking through the BP blogs and other internet websites for information, but I wanted to get some personal feedback from people online.Thanks!

Your best bet is likely to apply for both with your loan officer so they understand what may be happening and discuss any strategies they see in which goes first and second and if it will matter.

Gotta have internet going, though.I always meet the neighbors and give them cards and ask them to look out for unusual activity.

I would bet lunch anywhere you want that the house is not done in 6 months.
