Holly Nole Implement online pm tool and all tenants Maitenence request will go there as well as invoices and all data By the way, what is the ratio for the whole year: all repairs and maintenance / gross rental income

Call the utilities and schedule the transfer for when you think it'll happen, you can always call them and change the date. 

I do not do this, but do not know of a major reason as long as you can electronically transfer the money into another account after they do it.

It seems that I get more action from Padmapper and Zillow than Craigslist these days, and those sites usually often have non-active data (recently rented places no longer available) you can add settings for. 

You're not likely to get any tax returns, or other personal financial data from the seller without a contract, certainly not without showing the ability to actually buy.

Now I don't know how much to depend and trust on Trulia data..I don't live in Houston - yet - so haven't really checked those neighborhoods out yet, maybe som of the Houston residents know better?

During closing, the previous property manager mentioned that he would transfer the security deposit to me within a week but he never mentioned anything about the rent for August and I didn't think to ask about it either.I closed and took possession on August 3rd and my question is this; assuming the tenants paid their rent on the first, shouldn't that go to me or does it go back to the previous owner?

I use craigslist and city data as a baseline but want to make sure i'm not missing out any great resources.
