Be willing to walk away when the deal isn’t as advertised!

@Zev DobulerZillow is an advertising company, NOT a MLS, information tends to to be inaccurate.

Most of the properties advertised on MLS are retail and will post a challenge to get a good cash on cash ROI.  

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.

I advertised the home as "strictly no pets" and she didn't have any at the time. 

We bought a poorly advertised property that we believe is worth more than we bought it for (not basing that just off zestimates, estimates etc even though they would agree).Is an appraisal ordered by the bank?

The banks and private money lenders out there target mortgage brokers and advertise to them constantly.

There could be other things that are not optimized for your rental properties.One thing I will note if you end up looking locally for a professional, is don't get hung up by looking for someone advertising themselves specifically as a real estate CPA.

Yes there are gurus who advertise being able to invest with no money down or Other People Money but for the inexperienced Investor its nearly impossible that's the reality.
