In case you're wondering why I want a list of houses with list prices up to to $180k as well as those sold, is so that I can validate that the cheap houses I'll be looking at are in areas with higher sales prices when the homes are in good condition.

I found out later that this city requires the buyer (both me and the person I sell it to) to put up a $10,000 bond with the city until the repairs are made.

I just had a Toto toilet delivered free to me today, and I suspect for things you don't need immediately you could rack up some savings (gas and otherwise.)

If you selected for rent by Property Manager, and your state requires that property managers be licensed real estate agents, you have to submit your license number to Zillow for verification.

Just a verification question to be more knowledgeable.  

I just needed that verification from experience in doing such so I greatly appreciate the advice!

Require periodic walk throughs with a short report or some other method of verification.

Usually, it takes anywhere from 48 hours to 10 days to draw documents & fund the deal, and the HML usually can not draw docs or fund they we have all the required details from the borrower such as verification of down payment (if required), copies of company papers if purchasing in a company name, as well as a title commitment, closing protection letter, wiring instructions, and evidence of vacant dwelling insurance.
