Bring down your ARV (get comps with a trusted realtor), stress test your rents, and account for higher economic vacancy for a year or so.PM me if you have Q's!

You can test out realtors, property managers, and contractors.Hope this helps.Happy Housing,-Matt 

Do I have to test my rental house for lead paint?

Do you know how to get access to this data?

You can test them out to see whether or not they are keepers before locking yourself into a lease. 

In my area, the data does not reflect the media craziness, mostly business as usual here. 

So some might place tiny capital with them to test them out to see how they might do and have to be okay with losing some or all of the investment if it doesn't work out.Just like a hard money lender lends to varying investors on flips.

If after a week you have no attention, drop to your next number and test it out again. 

Instead of consuming information/data by the masses, I guess I am trying to figure out how best to filter out the noise.

However, you need to drill down into the neighborhoods and the actual data.
