Yeah I agree with @Art Perkitny

I haven't looked into if any of those sites (Hotpads, Craiglist, Zillow) have API's you can use but if they did that would be your best option. I wouldn't mind having the same thing in Tableau for sales/taxes/insurance data as well.  Let me know if you find anything interesting. 

I have been looking and found a few potential providers, stay tuned.  I will talk about it on my YouTube channel and make a video about it releasing the free calculator.  I am curious what is this other thing with Tableau you describe?

I have two thoughts on how to solve this problem

You could pull rent data from the American Community Survey. This data is tabulated at the zip code level as well as geographies smaller than zip code. They aggregate the data by bedrooms (see graphic below)

They don't, however, have rent data tabulated by bathrooms and square feet. 

The second option would be to crawl rental websites such as Hotpads, Craiglist, Zillow, etc...

This will yield much better results, however is much more difficult and almost certainly against their terms of service. 

Hi everyone. I have a rental house in Ewing, NJ, that would be good for TCNJ students. I wonder if some pros here would be kind enough to share their experience with this. I'm very detail oriented, so I want to be sure I have everything covered before i dive in.

1) I noticed that student leases in the area end the day before new leases begin. How do you prepare the property for the new lease without intruding on the current tenants? Is it expected that you'll be inspecting and repairing the property during the last month or so?

2) I keep hearing how "messy" students are. What kind of expenses do you see? I expect carpet cleaning and painting. Is it often more than that?

3) How do you screen tenants? Do you background check all of the parents?

4) What kind of special provisions do you include in the lease for students?

5) Do you make separate leases for each student or do you put them all on one lease?

6) Do you find that many students continue to live at the rental in summer when school is not in session? Do you allow sublets?

7) Is there anything else you would add about student rentals?

Thanks in advance.

Another great way to find details on properties is through the township or city records. I am Realtor, and have done this a few times when the inventory is low or my client's needs are extremely specific. Occasionally the city/township will have a full list of properties. Otherwise you can go the more tedious route of finding an area and running an advanced search based on street numbers. I wrote a few hundred letters and had about 2% response rate of people willing to let us through the property. Additionally there are another 5% who said they are not ready to sell, but now I have put the bug in their ear if they do get to that point.

Hi, I'm in search to buy my 1st cash flow multifamily or SFM. Is there a detailed inclusive checklist for things i need to examine/check before the purchase?

Hello real estate professionals! I'm currently in search of my first deal and am looking to do a BRRRR. I'm trying to network as much as possible with other investors, agents, wholesalers, brokers, contractors and hard money lenders. I've been focusing a lot on education over the last few months and have recently started to practice analyzing deals.

I'm looking for deals mainly in the suburbs of Philadelphia (Montgomery county and parts of Delaware county). That being said, I am open to business in the right parts of Philly. I feel comfortable with funding a deal so my dilemma right now is finding a good deal. I'm looking to start direct marketing as well, so any advice on that front would be greatly appreciated! I recently bought an absentee, high equity list.

I'm fully open for business so as I continue to look on my own, I welcome any and all professionals who would like to do business with a newbie who has funds lined up like myself. Thanks for your time!
