@Erica Reiner I'm not sure designers would want to give away taylored advise month after month for that low of a fee, at that price maybe building a general data base that flippers could use as more of a "plug and play" source of advise and have it designer maintained so the content stays current might work.

The key point to start with is a market that can provide you with solid team in the ground. 

I discovered that the property is listed with a realtor and still has an auction date set. the property looks like it is in very good condition based on the listing pictures. according to my sources the property has approximately 200k in equity and is holding a current value at around 600k.

Some realtors produce market reports but I am wondering what other resources you consult on key metrics like median/average prices, rent to own ratios, growth rate, etc.

I know the right tenant is key, and this being my 6th house I am completely fine and financially safe on sitting for an extra month to get the right person in there. and not just fill the spot. 

A good source I have heard are credit unions as they are not governed like banks.

Cash for keys 

The key is to cast a broad net and build lots of relationships.  

You mean to just buy a turn key house?

I wouldn't worry about a title company so much right now unless you are sourcing your own deals.
