What criteria do you look for, and where do you obtain that data?

The sellers market is cooling off a bit and we will be seeing data coming in from evictions/foreclosures in very near future.

It all starts with decisions driven by data.

I wouldn't mind having to download the data for the MLS info on an as needed basis or something.I don't know if that is the kind of thing you are talking about. 

I'm seen houses gutted right down to the skeleton, ive always wondered if this was to avoid a positive asbestos test.

In Cleveland, that process has been taking 60-90 days which means that if I am relying on the rental projection from the GoSection8 site, if the offer of rent from the housing authority is below what I can accept, or below market (which is sometimes the case), not only have I lost that market time, but I also have to restart the process of finding a tenant.The website provider has stated that only a housing authority has access to the full scope of rental data; even paying for a premium subscription does not give me access to any better information.

You should gather data to determine how long would it take for you to rent the unit if the tenant leaves.

WDOs, water tests & sewer inspections not required.Disadvantages:1. 

Demo & AsbestosWe have demo scheduled in a couple weeks, however, prior to starting demo we decided to get an environmental study to test for asbestos in the building materials.

Worse-case, you can send the letter to the bureaus and they will remove the negative data.
