Hello - Are you looking for someone to review the lease to ensure it is legal and includes sufficient safeguards for you and your husband? 

Your main role is to ensure that the level of stuff is not causing maintenance issues and that you can get access when you need it. 

It's supposed to ensure there are no surprises after closing.

And when you manually sift through the rental data you can screen out the slop which invests time to achieve maximum accuracy.To evaluate for a single property address what I would do is go to realtor.com (which directly sources from the MLS), hit the rent tab, put the county of the property you're evaluating, and go to map view for a zillow-like view of what rentals are actually listed at what rent price. 

I think OpenDoors will have more and better data than Bigger pockets, but, good luck.  

A super easy step to ensure your HVAC lasts its full life.

I've lived here for a long time so I know my way around and I can provide an opinion, however I'd like be able to provide some objective third party data that assesses/rates or compares the neighborhoods in the Twin Cities and surrounding area to assist in their search. 

With the little data we have seems like COVID is the likely issue here. 

I like having access to the MLS, my local board group for networking, easy access to tax data, etc.

Try going on a "break" with that realtor and look specifically for one who not only understands investments but who also has good technical acumen for exporting and doing deep analytics on the MLS data.
