Best advice is to join or visit a local REIA meetup and start shaking hands.

For something more robust, tools like Excel or online calculators from financial planning sites might better suit your needs.Your ROI Formula:ROI = (Net Cash Flow ÷ Total Out-of-Pocket Investment) × 100For your scenario:Net Cash Flow = Annual Rental Income - (Mortgage Payment + 401k Loan Payment + Other Expenses)Total Out-of-Pocket Investment = $40,000 cash + $50,000 loan payments over 5 years.I came across a piece in Bloomberg recently discussing creative financing, and they touched on ROI calculations for multiple loans.Personal anecdote: A buddy of mine leveraged a 401k loan for a fourplex.

Where is your site at? 

I'm having a hard time finding any estimating tools for this kind of a project, adding a story and multiple BR/1 BA, and wondered if there were any tools, sites or recommendations any of you have for this kind of a project. 

Great reviews on all the major travel & hotel sites. 

I just found this site on Google search while trying to get more information about Mr.

I want to be somewhat hands on so I would pick markets that are driveable for you and visit frequently.

I'd like to not "find out the hard way" if one of these sites are not a good match for me.The ones I'm considering are Propstream, Property Radar, ListSource, and PropwireSomething to note, I am looking to return to doing some wholesale deals, using criteria such as absentee owner, out of state owner, tax delinquent, vacant, liens, and pre-foreclosure..

Stop with the guru sites, the videos, all that nonsense is pure crap designed to drive the lazy into highly risky investments or investment schemes that will surely see you make a little or lose a lot.
