I am also interested in exploring available funding opportunities.

If these units were converted several years ago with permits, is it possible that the permits are not available with the city anymore?

Based on your response, I probably need to hire someone just for the Open Houses who is available multiple days per month.

Yes, there are definitely 15% down options available for investment property purchases!

But even then you still need to have cash available.

I just rented to someone with a prior eviction on their record Their story lines up with the paperwork I have available (it was more of a dispute with an HOA nosey Nancy, and their former roommate, than a tenant violation of terms - settled on agreement instead of a full eviction, and the problem roommate is no longer in the picture).

I use Avail software and it will list your property on 10+ websites. 

I know there are some amazing opportunities in both of these markets but if I was leaning toward one right now from what we have available I would go with OKC, looking closely at tax rates. 

(As I navigate my service business, I've realized that there are more lucrative avenues available.

There's no cash available to do this, without waiting for CF to build up to use as DP's.
