However according to the US Census Bureau in the City of Mishawaka, the owner to tenant ratio is approximately 50/50 here http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/1...To also break down the numbers in one line, from the Census Bureau link, the City of Mishawaka has a population of 48,261, a total of 24,088 housing units (as of the year 2010) of which roughly 12,044 are rentals with a median gross rent of $714.00.So in summary, in my opinion, this is a strong rental area with stable economic fundamentals to sustain the tenant pool.

yeah i agree with stephen l, you don't need a lawyer to file for LLC here in the red stick, i had to send $100 filing fee to have paperwork registered with sec of state web address to file online is sos.la.gov just type it just like that, i also had my bank file for my EIN when i applied for a line of credit application just have to talk to your local bank that you deal with real nice and they will work with you, the 1 i deal with is capital 1!

Sorry for the fundamental questions, just getting started.

Hi Blair, I feel your pain there is nothing out there on the web with efficient quad designs.However I have 3 newer 4 plexes that I want to use the design from, but adding a bedroom and bath. 

Does anyone know of a web site that shows what rentals rates and other stats on homes and multi family for area of a city or region?

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to retire by age 40 as long as you make some fundamental early decisions that will set you on the right path.

I can see a ton on the web, but don't know if there is something that generally stands out in the real estate community as a cut above.

I don't have any experience with them.however since they are CA based and did not post a CA BRE license number or CFL or NMLS I suspect they do not lend on 1 to 4 units as those require those above licenses if your in CA.Also I am always a little curious about those that say they lend from 20k to 20 million LOL.. no one can make a dime on a 20k loan... so thats curious.Lastly and this is just a personal pet peeve I just don't care for companies that don't list their principals and a small bio on their web page so you can look into the owners on google and make sure they are upstanding citizens.. again maybe its a marketing thing and maybe I am all wet but thats my preference I want to see who the principals are... they should be proud to put themselves up there ( again my pet peeve LOL)Just don't sent any up front money..

Or do you believe there is enough information on the web to build a reliable template?
