@Troy Weygandt - I do NOT expect my offers to be accepted - at least not the initial offer.

Just driving by the outside (front and alley) can often give clues.As far as verifying landlords five years back, you may not get the data even if you ask for it.

We need about 5000 square feet initially but would probably double that within a couple of years.

In this instance I've now clouded the title, I'm receiving some (very small) cash flow and can receive my initial investment once the property sells.

Well, with the initial question "Would you be willing to have your anonymous data aggregated with data from other investors to gain the benefits of big data?"

With that amount of money for my initial investments, would hoping to generate 30-40K a year within five to seven years be a reasonable goal?

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

I have begun my initial research but I am sure I will be turning to your knowledge to gain more for myself.

I believe this would probably help with communication and with the overall outcome of the rehab because everyone's experiencing the same first impressions together, sharing initial thoughts with each other, coming to conclusions together, and forming the same rehab vision, but I'm not sure.
