I'm just starting too and I don't know much, but I do know you need to know a lot about a property, and you can't rely on Zillow and the current occupant to give you the information.I didn't try this, but supposedly the trial is free for, I suspect, one report--who knows:http://www.datatree.com/try-totalviewAt the very least, there is a sample report that you can view that shows the sort of data you need.Kudos on jumping in, but be careful!

Go to trial.
