@Stephen Noonan in the day and age of the internet you shouldn’t really be paying for information.

In the day and age of the internet and technology there are definitely better more defined ways.

You can source from Craigslist, FB marketplace, Cozy (and it's affiliates), word of mouth, etc. 

Price: $130-160k, Monthly HOA: $600Keeping in mind that the units are all renting within $10-20 per night of one another, and the larger HOAs  are covering things like water, cable and Internet, I am debating whether I should opt for higher cost of unit with lower HOA, vice versus, or somewhere in the middle. 

Today everything is internet based so the real lasting relationships are lost.

Did you know you can buy paystubs, even tax returns on the internet for less that 25 dollars, accurate and nicely filled out.
