The problem is, I don't feel confident in my ability to perform an accurate comp.

Right now I am thinking of purchasing a lead list from an online source however I have never done this before and want to know if the lists they provide are generally accurate/trustable.

Are there any websites that accurately state what are the average rents in the area?

However it is not 100% accurate, thats what I say it MAY require it.

I am trying to find the accurate contact information for the Flipping Formula acquisitions manager, or someone with them who can tell me what they are looking for in the St.

What is the most efficient way to obtain accurate insurance quotes to assess cash flow.  

Go for it but make sure you estimate all rehab costs accurately, the rehab time accurately, the rent price accurately and then overall have a large amount of equity in the property once your rehab is complete.

While it is true and accurate that a "deposit" is by nature generally intended to be refundable, in the case where an agreement specifically indicates that a deposit in its entirety or a portion of a deposit is not refundable and it is agreed to by the parties as indicated by signature of the parties, then  as it relates to that portion so specified, or, the entirety of the deposit so indicated as non-refundable, it is not a refundable deposit.  

The $23k rehab was based off a list I put together (note I had history with the lender showing I've done rehabs before, so my numbers were fairly accurate).One closing and I would do draws (rehab funds kept in escrow) as the work was completed and inspections done.  

For a home buyer, yes - she paints an accurate picture.
