It really makes management pretty easy.Because of this, we are able to do flips on the side for extra money in addition to our rental ‘bread & butter’.  

Week of September 1, 2025Hey everyone,Last week’s jobs data came in soft—putting a rate cut squarely back on the table for the Fed’s September 17 meeting.

If it is NOD, TS or Lis Pens data foreclosure.com even foreclosures.com, realtytrac.com, foreclosureradar.comIf it is 30-60-90-120 date mortgage late data then youll have to go to a number of online sources who have access to the credit data.If dealing with credit data there is only one credit reporting service who updates weekly so make certain youre pulling as fresh of data as posible.And 60 to 119 days late seems to be the going choice.If you cant find an online source let me know and I will point you in the right direction.BTW the key difference from a quality of list standpoint between the two list types is the amount of mail people are sending to each.I have found that NOD, TS and Lis Pens data is over used whereas the mortgage late data is more virgin.Also you may want to check with your local title/escrow company and see if they supply the info for free., Most use to however since RESPA started putting their foot down they have slowed the free delivery of this data.

You’re correct — many of the “free” or bundled screening tools used by listing sites tend to give limited data or outdated results.

That realtor will never know the data at the level that STR Search does, but they are part of the process.

Spoiler, data collection methodology.Let’s get into it.

The best approach is to work with a screening provider that uses FCRA-certified human review in addition to database searches.A thorough report should include:Full credit report (from a major bureau, soft-pull if possible)Nationwide criminal and sex offender search (Multiple data providers not single)Eviction history Judgments and liens (No longer appear on credit reports)Optional tools such as income, employment, and ID verification to detect fraudWhen comparing services, ask how they verify mismatched data and whether they confirm records manually.

I essentially want to be able to marry the data easily from Buildium to quickly so I get a full financial view of my business.

Having 12 months of financials is a great starting point since you can validate actual occupancy and ADR, but STRs in South Florida do carry extra risk factors—local regulations can shift quickly, insurance is expensive, and seasonality is huge.

I will say this group is national (even some international) in nature and is not the best for resource for finding local data especially in niche markets.
