ASHI's website (American Association of Home Inspectors) has only ONE inspector listed, and I wasn't impressed with the credentials when I checked the website (too vague data on experience, previous trades, etc).So I currently have 3 options to choose from:Inspector #1 (found from TAREI - Texas assoc of real estate inspectors): on BBB since 1993, A+ rated.

I think I may have found someone here on biggerpockets that might have a good entry opportunity on the east coast, actually. 

If you're interested I can set you up with fine tuned MLS data.

The competition in the immediate area should provide good data on what the market rent should be, but suspect as well that one needs to compare apples to apples and include the effects of amenities.

A lot of this may depend on your liquid position, ability to access data for the markets you're seeking to invest in, and the type of support you can have in any particular market.I can tell you TX is old faithful and you can get into deals with less out of pocket, but there is high competition and your margins may be lower than say GA.

@Supreet Singh Sachdeva I am assuming that the data is retrospective.

Also NEVER use the PROFORMA to calculate your numbers, use actual verified data so you don't get ripped off!

There are several others houses in Hico like it, but none that I could find recent sales data for.

Hey all - it looks like we may have possibly lost some data that was posted to the site over the past 2 days.
