I like the idea of pre-foreclosure especially, but have not found up to date data for that specifically.

Also, securing financing is no different than site built unless you're dealing with  someone that has no experience originating loans. 

it is technically a real thing but very rare, and there is plenty of historical data out there that shows those who have less skin in the game are at a far greater risk of default by a factor of 5-7x.

If I see this data Cleveland Income is similar to your zip code but home price is 3x difference.

Can I purchase the rods and charge back to tenant as missing/damaged window treatments when originals were blinds?

I’ve got some buildings with great interest rates that just won’t cash flow with less than my original 20% equity.

I don't have the skill set YET to gauge rehab costs and try to BRRRR, but I'd like to learn.This is definitely a choice but my option is that you will do better if you focus on duplexes and cherry-pick a few SFRs as you come across them.As for your Strengths, it sounds like you have an excellent ability to save and your ability to bulk analyze data will serve you well to identify big-picture areas, property types, and characteristics to focus on.I like that you realize the first investment will not be your best investment.

I do like all the data that Stessa provides for investors.

If you do buy a pre foreclosure and follow all the rules and sell within 36 months any profit 80% has to go back to the original owner  who was in foreclosure.Since I made living doing foreclosure rescue prior to this . the new laws removed that activity from my business..

If you want to look at a cash flowing market like the midwest here in KC, I can show you some data points around this part of the country.
