Usually very accurate data, and (in my area at least) new listings to mls or newly pending get updated within an hour or two.

$1600 rent, Mortgage $1150 - maintenance cost is usually really low for first 2-3 years since its a brand new remodel.All in all its a high class asset with strong cash flow and easy to sell when we want - best of both worlds.Originally posted by @Christian Wathne:What does your rent and ongoing costs look like on this property?

Delayed financing, where they rapidly refi you at after a cash purchase will usually be for 70% of appraised value or PP, whichever is less.Easiest for you would be to buy with seller financing with a small down payment and wait a year to refi.   

I am fully not equipped to move forward just yet, but what is the usual next step after finding a motivated seller in terms of conversation with them?

I personally don't feel all too comfortable Bird Dogging cause they usually will leave you out the deal when it's all set and done, happened to me many times in the past.

There are good properties out here, but you really have to hunt for a deal and turnkey usually doesn't work too well out here, which is why you don't see a lot of turnkey companies out here compared to other regions.

Usually most towns depend on the base and vice versa, so I will definitely have to look into that just to ensure that there aren’t any systems in place that I would need to compete against.

Usually with enough notice you can make some changes to the lease, you would have to check your lease to see what limitations there are, if any. 

Usually you need to be a broker if you are third party manager...making money off of another person to manager assets that you have no ownership in. 

The prices aren’t listed on their websites, so you know what that usually means.
