Manny Khoshbin has a commercial course--pretty scammy marketing, cars, houses, etc.

The past rents from landlords is the most applicable indicator of credit for the type of credit being extended, you shouldn't care about credit cards or the car loan, those don't apply to you but do give a clearer picture of the big picture.Any automated system of accept or reject is pure bunk, credit scores are valid cutoff points but not without applying the type of credit history to the type of credit to be extended with rentals. 

As far as a $1,000 budget, I would probably do a few things:1) design and buy a back window sticker for your car (or tailgate of your truck) so when you’re driving around folks will see what you do (very cheap and effective advertising).

Both units have amazing parking, with one of them being a two car garage. its just the left side of the home that is connected to the busy road, with the main entrance being off of a side street.

We look for nice and safe and clean with average amenities but nice things like coffee makers, hair dryers and black out curtains for the night shifts.

Your goal is to make rent high enough that it is not rational for them to pay and stay.With this method a 4 unit should be at full market rents within 6-8 months.

Take away that last resort and you take away the last chances for people to keep their heads above water.Your car breaks down, what is better:A) Borrow $500 from a payday lender and in two weeks pay them back $650 when you get your paycheck.B) Not be able to borrow the money, be unable to get your car fixed, lose your job since you can't get there, now you can't pay your rent (getting late fees and/or evicted), going hungry, etc.

I know it's a bit of a lagging indicator, however since I'm investing out-of-state I need a strategy for quickly assessing the rough potential of many unfamiliar markets, after which I'll dive into a few specific markets in greater detail (crime rates, population growth/decline, path-of-progress info from city councils, etc.).At the moment, I have the following:-Whole Foods: A or B-class-Dollar Tree / Dollar General: B- or C-class-MoneyGram or other check-cashing companies: C-class-Bail bonds companies- C-class-Psychic readings: C-classI'm trying to stick to companies that people patronize frequently (i.e. a Tesla or Mercedes dealership would be less-useful, since people only purchase cars infrequently).My questions:1) So far, I've only been able to identify B-class neighborhoods if I find an A-class company and a C-class company in the same shopping complex.  

@Avery CarlI see the big variation in areas.
