The BP Podcasts have been a major source of inspiration & learning for me.Over the last 4 years @Joshua Dorkin & @Brandon Turner have hosted 216 episodes where the amazing guests have shared a wealth of knowledge for all of us to learn from.I kept looking for ways to quickly find episodes which were related to a specific topic I was exploring so that I could have marathon learning sessions which were focused on that particular topic.The best I could find was this link, but it doesn't seem to have been update in a long time.So I put together an organized and categorized Google Sheet of the podcasts (The themes are based on the titles, I'll try to refine the themes as I listen to them). 

I don't know about your area but in Ca theres a law called the implied warrenty of habitability in short it says that in order for you to collect rent that the rental must have running water, the ability to produce hot water plumbing trash bins pest free, electrical service heat source and so forth.

My husband and I both have busy careers, and I'm looking for sources of passive income.

And you might break out rent and other sources of income. 

Expecting you to cash flow the project from outside sources of income does not sound practical.

Meetup.com is a good source to find networking events.

It's also very difficult to move to a new city and quickly figure out where to target and find a deal.If it takes you 6 mos to source a deal and another 2-3 mos to find contractors to get started, you'd be looking at a lot of nights in an expensive hotel.While this may make for a great experience, it's not likely that you'll make much money doing it.

I just want to do it while I'm still young and still have the energy and vigor to source deals and the risk tolerance to invest in a little riskier neighborhood for a greater return.  

I'm not aware of any good source for actual rental data.

Plus we would be able to potentially accelerate our investing by me having an additional source of income.
