@Harra GuniI am a local Huntsville investor I would highly recommend working with your property manager as they should have knowledge of off market deals, they should have in house contractors or have good a good relationship with several vendors,  and they should be able to find decent rent comps.As for estimates on rentals look at zillow, facebook marketplace, rentometer. 

We look forward to working with new people and building strong and long-term business relationships.

.- Don't ever stop looking for bank relationships where you can refinance your properties.

I don't represent you and I am not forming an attorney/client relationship with you.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

.- How to avoid scammers - Best way to build a relationship and create a deal with a lender(how to find, keep, and have an ongoing business relationship)- Is the first deal usually 20% down or can I avoid that?

I have a 20% down payment ready for a property in early 2020, but I’m thinking it might be wiser to use 10% on a down payment and 10% on rehabbing the duplex the refinance out to a conventional loan with a newly rehabbed property.

Money and friends can be a combustible relationship.
