This isn't exact, but it gives you an idea of what people are paying.There is also a nice link for "Rent Trends", which tells you some of the averages.I'm sure that you can use IFTTT (If This Then That) to set up a spreadsheet for rents on Craigslist.

This is why IRR is used by sophisticated and institutional level investors.Understand this: the longer an investment takes time wise, the more likely the total IRR will be lower and trend downward.

Realtor.com has a great Inventory Trends data report, and also a Sales Trends, but that is currently "coming soon"...

I will buck the trend here and say we've used FoAC as a wholesale lender and they were great to work with.
