Damon is just starting something now and I would suggest following his Facebook page "Tax Liens & Deeds and Beyond".  

If you are seeking a reliable cash out lender , take a look at the find the lender tab on the top of the page.

I have a half dozen years of experience renting out a few single family homes and am looking to bet big in a different market.

Go on up to TOOLS at the top of the page and click Lease Agreement Packages.

@Derrek J HooymanLook at the median home price data and rental data at the city level or zip code level.

When looking in markets where the prices of homes sold is private and not provided , how are you running your comps?

Most of these have been the home of boom and bust for decades. 

I keep the rmd the lowest possible however to secure a loan on a home I inherited I had to adjust the rmd higher...now I want to move it back where it was because I am very conservative and like to have money for the unforseen future .
