I particularly like that I can create an unlimited number of custom fields to fill in data the software isn't set up for.Annoyance?

I signed up to check it out.I figured if I just got one lead or one deal then its worth it.The data was ok, seems they have some program that pulls it together but when I dug deeper it was old.I took a bunch of properties that I knew were REO's and listed and PIN still had them as the owner. 

@Jessica Johnston a $10k price drop does not do anything, perhaps it shows that your agent is not very good.Price strategy should be based on data and experience, we use a matrix to compare the specific performance of any given listing to a bench mark.Good news is, you got showings, so you are "in the market" and probably within 10% of you potential sales price.

If you can find a good, reliable agent and property manager then you will have a great start as they have access to data and knowledge of the local market.Once you have settled on a market and made a couple connections there, I would fly out to meet them and get to know the area through looking at neighborhoods and homes so you can really see what and where you are buying.

Don't ask the barber whether you need a haircut, necessarily, but there are no shortage of pros all over the country represented here who would be happy to walk you through "local Economics 101" for their metro of expertise.Many find it easiest to start where they live, but if you want to invest out of state: use census data to narrow down your top 3-5 potential markets and start finding people in those cities who understand what you're about.

Base your numbers on factual data you will be way better off.  

One step at a time redo post it after research for more realistic data.
