Been checking out a number of data sources recently - some paid like neighborhoodcout and quantmaps.

I can monitor the MLS and other sources, I really just want someone to verify what I think I know and then do the paperwork for the offer/purchase.  

We work with a number of foreign investors and can introduce you to a lender that works with foreign investors for residential and commercial properties.

I'm very unfamiliar with water that is sourced from a well, anything I should be weary of?

Matt,Check the Local Realtors Organization, for monthly market reports, this will give you a good source on where you market trends happen (historically), like which months have the most volume of Sellers, Buyers, Types of properties and what type of sales (cash vs. financed).

@Eric C.Does the equity source have a lot of capital for deals in the future?

You should speak with a professional.Adding foreign investors into the mix can and often does add significant compliance overhead.US estate tax planning as well as income tax planning needs to be considered for the foreign individual. 

My advice is to stay positive and keep learning about real estate through podcasts, books and sources like BP.

My advice would be to run an ad on craigslist and locally, see if there is any interest, anyone who reaches out is now a rental lead, if no one is interested then garages might not be a viable income source for you.

Not a legit source.
