If you want to go the turnkey approach, I suggest approaching a title company...They will be able to set filters and query data specific to your search parameters.Regards,Scott Miller

Be mindful that your lender will evaluate your property's cash flow and operating expenses prior to making a decision to lend and guidelines don't allow for estimates or the law of averages (sidebar---I would be interested in seeing some data on this national average of 45-50% you speak of).

There is not enough data for a good judgement.

Good debt is any form of debt that you use to buy an asset that's appreciating in value.

Just using 50% prepares you for the unknown.I've looked at a bunch of property data sheets over the last few months, and the list seems endless.

I don't know.....I think it's a matter of knowing which way the data is going to flow, (in the way of appreciating cost for certain words/search terms), then learning how to minipulate the data to one's own advantage.

Chances are you'll have it for a hand full of years, by then it will have gone up in value and you'll have found another even better investment and you'll cash out to leverage the money into something even better.
