My regular personal biz is a little slow, and my monthly nut is very high, I'm finding myself too close for comfort as far as the amount left in my bank each month, especially after April, with both property tax and my personal that was due!

To regular residential agents your deal looks like a whopper to them.

You need a place to live so there is a certain amount of rent that you must be able to handle as your rent so figure that into the mix and  treat your self like a regular tenant to figure the deal.  

If you don't see it, go to www.BiggerPockets.com/promotions and you should have a link to the Bonus content for the No (and Low) Money Down book. 

I'm not a fan of Zillow, but if you're looking for comps they are very accurate as this is pulled from county records and the areas I invest are updated very regularly.

The only concern I have with this method is not being able to get regular mortgages in my name after I get too many.

One of the contributing problems was the lack of regular clearing of the gutters on the property and adequate maintenance.  

I am not in the professional league here and neither I have any experience with real estate investment personally but I have just helped real estate agents and brokers and lenders in helping promoting their business and selling their listings online.

You can reduce your Income from your regular job by this much.
