@Joe PartingtonWell, assuming those numbers are solid and there aren't other issues with it or with the market -- AND if you can acquire it for 5% down -- your cash-on-cash is ridiculously good for (33%) and your payback period (2.4 years) is ridiculously fast. 

@Nathan GustafsonWith regards to HML recommendations, you can use the 'Network' tab on BiggerPockets to search a list of reputable HMLs.With regards to the downpayment, @Brett Tvenge provided some solid info.A reasonable expectation when using an HML is for them to provide 80-90% LTC, or 80-90% of the total project costs with you bringing the remaining 10-20% of the project costs to closing.Best,Michael

Hey Anthony, The county assessor is definitely a solid spot but if youre looking at multiple properties and trying to be faster with the data collection, DealMachine pulls directly from the property assessor and they have it mapped out nicely.For a skip tracing service, Ive been using REIskip.

Also, what do you think will happen with rent prices over the next few years--is there any evidence that rent is likely to increase significantly?
