Instead, ViaSat seems one (or perhaps the only) satellite internet provider and from what I can tell, they have serious data cap rates on their high-speed data (even with their platinum plan)Does anyone have experience with ViaSat (or alternatives) and can provide insight on how viable this is for STR properties (we fortunately plan on cable TV with DIRECTV via AT&T)?

Does anyone have suggestions on how to download sales data in a specific region with buyer and seller agents attached to each listing?

After closing we have had an electrician here to install new outlets for a dishwasher and he tested the outlets that were supposed to be fixed per the amendment and they have not been fixed.

But at the same time there aren't many active comparable rental properties nearby, which makes determining the market rent of a property difficult.I found that using rental listings that are inactive but were recently active provides me with a lot more data for determining market rent.To do this I go to the Zillow rent estimator tool and enter my property's address as well as a (very) rough estimate of the rent.

It's knowing where to look and having someone work with you that knows what the hell they're doing that will help you cut through the big data and make sense of under-valued acquisitions, of which, there are plenty. 

You'll have to work w/ a realtor for access to this data.  

Change the keywords around, look for different size lots, BRs, BAs, features Etc....sometimes different places will popup if you search like this....When you find a place, go search on a competitors search engine, you will often find more pictures, a different description, better historical data, etc..

It just means you were able properly fill out paperwork and pass a test.

The VA loan is great for this and the feasibility test doesn't need to be met like the FHA loan product.

Value add renovations, streamlining operational costs, acquiring off market/below market, rent increases (inline with current market & post reno, creating appreciation via increased NOI), incremental revenue streams, operating in growth markets (driven by data) - these are all ways to deliver returns.
