Online sites have little or no value due to gross inaccuracies.An experienced local investment team is the only source for the *specific* property information you need.

Thanks, @Preston Dean.So if I understand you correctly, the value of the sale would go towards retiring the mortgage I took out?

@Sean Gammons rising property values & mortgage rates have ended the "easy days" where you could buy anything and rent for cashflow.You're going to have to look harder or go into riskier investments.Prior to the crash of 2008, seasoned investors would look at 100 properties, bid on 10, to hopefully get one deal accepted that met their ROI and CoC requirements.

It's an expensive bridge to value add, flip RE, or close on a deal all CASH.

I'd recommend researching areas to see that they have:- Low unemployment- High demand for housing - relatively low inventory- local job creation/booming local economy- high avg/median income- increasing population- low average days-on-market (DOM)- history of rent and property value increases YOY- low crime- highly-rated schools (or above average)I'd compare the target neighborhood to surrounding neighborhoods and/or nearest metro areas. 

Check your numbers - what is the market value of the property using comparable sales?

@Kegan BrennerYou have to weigh what you value more: Peace of mind or a return arbitrage. 

Consider a SFH in Cleveland valued at $90K with a 25% down payment, renting for $1500.

If income, or credit is an issue, Learn and get good at something related to real estate and then eventually you can add value to an investor and potentially do a joint venture.

I typically have enough time to do this myself but also value my free time with family.
