Ok I have some more data.

I think ultimately it would be best to forego the $300 and ensure there isn't an abundance of mold in the house.

So while i dont have a tremendous amount of experience I can approach investors with a binder of historical data demonstrating success in managing townhomes in this area, and that my projected numbers are backed by historical numbers with similar properties.Second is relationships, the stronger the relationship the more comfortable someone will be investing with you.

Talk to your lender to ensure that they do not have any overlays.

I would gather the data for residential sales, pending sales and homes on the market for sale.

As Kyle mentioned, City-Data is a great site.

Most commonly the owners in the colder climates select the lease expiration to stretch  over a year to ensure if falls between March 31 and August 31st when possible.

@Cailyn Aune, I didn't, by any means try to discourage you from using data.

Basically, they just ensure that the tenant can in fact afford the unit.

From this data, you can utilize a website that will give you a breakdown of the percentage of homes that sold, in various price ranges, for a given zip code.
