I wanted to know what you guys think about ListSource for my data?

The one thing that needed to be worked out was the installation of a radon mitigation system because the tests from the property inspector showed we were way over the EPA guidelines for that, and I didn't want to live in a place that had a carcinogen leaking into the house.

In the end I think our income was high enough and the old mortgage low enough that we would have qualified anyway, so we didn't exactly get to test this in practice.

Be sure to test their knowledge before adding them to your team.it's also never too early to talk to a lender, but just like with Realtors, find one familiar with financing rentals.

Does anyone have anything other than Zillow Rental, Rentometer, google, that might be able to give me some data? 

It's likely going to be more than the price of the data for you to get a market ready list unless you have a programming background.Definitely ask for a sample of the data so you know what you are up against.Good luck!

And then put in time taking practice exams and take them over and over and over until you feel you're continually doing well and you should be fine with the state test.BTW, when I was taking the state exam (WA), I was pleasantly surprised to see on it one of the exact same test questions from 360Training.

I had planned on putting in about 5k in rehab and hoping to get $1100 in rent but I decided to beta test my market by putting up a posting for the unit at $1095 with additional pet rent hoping that the pet deposit and rent might pay for the new flooring once I get rid of the outdated carpet(which is still in great shape).

Of course your conclusion is correct...the properties in question are almost designed to fail your CF litmus test...badly.Try doing this with properties that someone would actually consider buying for the cash flow...like ones that have at least an annual CF of $ 4 - 5000/year.

I ALWAYS have separate pros inspect the roof, HVAC, structural (if something is seen that warrants it), sewer main (or, septic, including separate sewer scope for drainfield AND perk test), and water well (bacteria and pump flow, etc.), if not on public water.
