I know I need to hold the security deposit in an escrow account.  

These professionals often look for properties like yours to renovate and flip or hold as rentals.

The idea of my credit union where I bank holding these loans and servicing them and never selling them, keeping it as simple as possible is what sounds the most appealing to me after these experiences.  

However, my hold up is what market to look at that will help me meet my goals.

I have to decide if im going to use a new injection of capital from the sale of my primary residence to:1) Hold in treasury bills at 4.5 percent until I find another property to purchase2) Pay off one of two existing mortgages, one at 3.75 percent and another at 4.5 percent3) Just find something to buy that beats either of those percentages on paper and be done with it4) Possibly loan out some hard money/broker it to a friend to allocateIts never an easy decision, but its a good problem to have.

All you are going to do is put a deposit on it, hold it, and then try to resell it into a much smaller network than it is on now.

You may be profitable, but I'd prefer to avoid the possibility of having to do unnecessary repairs or not holding my tenants accountable for damage when I know their actions might have caused any unforeseen damage. 

It’s about uncovering high-demand niches that hold up even during fluctuations in the broader market.What I’m describing aligns partly with absorption, but I’m looking for a tool that allows me to drill down into the components of that absorption rate—filtering by factors such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, home type, amenities, and more.Do you see merit in this approach?
