Convienant access to major job centers and a much lower price point than suburbs directly to the south make it very attractive to renters and great for cash flow. 

I have access to capital that I am looking to invest in real estate. 

A Realtor or an appraiser will have access to more data. 

LOL It's still accessible through my site link if you're really interested (rental #5 link)When I say load up the HUD, I don't mean to do anything shady, rather, to include all pre-close costs possible. 

Very helpful when wanting to access untapped equity and reduce DTI.

You can do the research, join a local apartment association or hire a PM.If that sounds doable to you, you can certainly search online for a property, but if you find a good agent, they should be able to steer you to a property that will serve you well as well as point you in the right direction for any management advice you might need.Best of luck!

If I'm virtually wholesaling from out the country how do I go about obtaining the key for the property so that I can give my buyers access to the property?

No way around good planning and doing your homework.Exactly, I've never done it that way, I'd only use that as an estimate if you were looking at a house online or something.

Online option? 

Decide how much money you have access to, & the zip codes, city or state you want to focus on.
