I'm looking for profitable areas in which to invest in rental properties.It would be very helpful if you could advise me on whether reliable sources of data exist to determine how much the rental yield is in each city (on an annual basis).If you have any recommendations on where to invest, I'd appreciate hearing them.Thanks,Amit

Is there a reliable source / website to find cap rates for apartment buildings by region (e.g. county, city, town) for each state?

As you know, at the end of the day you are running a hotel and from my experience you need a whole team of reliable and affordable referrals.

only THEY know when they are mnotivated and they will take it upon themselves to get their house sold and they WILL go to Google to find that solution and you need to be found.Website, Crediblitly, Rank #1.Sorry to say.. that is the only way to reliably get motivated sellers.

What’s a reliable service you use?

In my experience most Marines are incredibly reliable and good people, I love renting to them.

The Chicago Cityscape blog tends to be a pretty reliable source of information.

You will regret it.it is just a stupid inferior system that simply does NOT work to reliably continuously get you leads.2) NEVER use the word "investor".

If you can’t find a reliable agent you can do it yourself.For example: we know single family homes in certain areas will have about a 7% cash on cash return.So if we are in that area analyzing a property and we find a property with a 12% return we know we have on paper what looks like a good deal.There are quite a few aspects of finding a good deal.The numbers are one but, so are location and asset condition.We generally break down areas into A,B,C,D class areas.Our expected returns are different for each area.

Those are my leads. 100% free,  extremely motivated, I don't lift a finger, don't pay a cent, reliable predictable, and the best thing is that when I stop, NOTHING changes.
