You find the mortgage amount in the land records or if you do it very large scale you can subscribe to various companies that supply that data. 

I was talking to an agent that recently went to a seminar and they had data to support an even demand throughout the year for rental homes, vs. sales (where the spring and summer months tended to do better).  

Hey, I'm also in miami and I can tell you that the data is right. 

You get 75 mortgage and you get your money back- You make money in the spread between rent and mortgage and you have 75 to invest again- every 6 months you buy a property reinvesting and refinancing the same 75- meanwhile the properties you initially purchased increased in value and your mortgage balance decreased ... 1 to 5 years later (depending on the market increase) you can refinance again on the same houses...

Unfortunately build out is expensive and right after you buy new equipment and it becomes used it drops like a rock in value ( like a car does ).If this location isn't amazing then you could simply go buy your own equipment and start up elsewhere.

i agree with lonnie but let me build on that. first, your credit report is based largely upon your pay history. paying early does nothing to boost your score ,but paying late will reduce your score quickly. so, pay on time. next, CARRY A BALANCE. it will actually lower your credit score if you do not use a decent portion of your avaliable credit. also, maxing out your credit cards will also hurt your credit, it is optimal to carry between 30-50% balance of your avalible limit on your cards. do not worry about intrest as long as what you are purchasing is ultimately going to gain you more in value that the cost of the intrest. i.e. why would you worry about a 25% intrest rate if you are going to make 50% on the house you are investing in?

The MLS is the most accurate source of home sales data, which is one of the memberships Realtors pay to have access to.  

This is also called Phantom loss because it didn't truly occur.Appreciation - the typical rise in value of the home over time - avg 4%inflation - re is a great hedge against inflation, especially leveraged re. buy a house for 100k, and inflation goes wild, the house cost goes with it, therefore hedging the inflation.

In the end, if you have a good broker friend, you can get good comp data from them.  

All that data helps me figure out who is toast and who isn't.
