I'm trying to find a place to get reliable property list data from.  Can anyone recommend a free trial program to get a good list?  I'd been getting lists from Title Co but someone told me not to trust Title Co data. ...

I'm sure they have a never ending source of articles on this topic as well. 

Fast forward to now; my wife is now a landlord owning a 1M plus dollars of rental properties, and she remembers her roots.

What source(s) are you using to validate your estimated rental income? 

@Kevin Paglia Consider the source.  

In my experience, Sec 8 is a good source of income as long as your tenants know the rules and are given a clean place if you give them a dirty place your setting the standard for them.

Over the last year, Courtney Buck Investments has been sourcing, raising capital, and investing in the large multifamily space, you may be wondering how we purchase to preserve capital, pay at or above a preferred return, and reduce our investor's taxes.

Very good source of information

I am rooting for you.I have heard that VA, FHA and Fannie are still lending, but are slowed down by the servicing companies who need to buy the paper.   

Input from multiple sources on stuff from tenants to getting financing to SBA loans to evictions to foreclosures to short term rentals.....everything is changed.
