I think you have to go to the city county building and actually sort through the files.By files I mean actual file folders and paper. 

I was thinking the same (i.e. income to rental and purchase pricing vs. non parity, in various cities and enclaves) with perhaps a disproportionate ratio of 'rentals' to home ownership... if that sort of data is tracked, and available online? 

What sorts of ratios should I require for income vs expenses on the potential assignee's financials?

Hospitals, colleges, recreation opportunities or some sort of industry all help.But a lot of this depends on your time horizon.

You will need to get clear receipts of the repair costs and send some sort of official letter listing deposit deductions.

If you decide to have some sort of meet up, please let me know.

What sort of rent range are these numbers (Capex/Maint/Vacancy and 10% for PM) applicable to in the current market? 

They sort of fell into my lap.  

Qualifying borrowers is sort of the job of any given lender.  

From my research, it usually costs a minimum of $10K (and sometimes several times that) for a securities attorney to draft offering documents (PPMs and the sort) for real estate syndications, which means that deals below a certain threshold don't make sense to syndication because the cost of legal fees eats into the deal too much.Is this a legitimate pain point?
