Zillow is not ideal because this is a monthly furnished rental - which Zillow doesn't have a specific platform for - but that's what has worked for me up to now. 

Ideally I'd like the ability to invest in individual stocks of my own choosing (fractional shares is a plus), a diverse option of index funds, and ETFs.Has anyone found a great banking option to have the most flexibility with your HSA investments?

Ideally, looking for turn-key properties

Ideally you would put only one persons name on the mortgage unless you absolutely had to have both to qualify.  

Baselane has the added advantage of synching with your Schedule E you'll use at tax time to file your taxes.

Think about what everyone else is doing.For reasons that I can’t quite grasp, someone decided that people who want to, need to, or have to sell their houses are the ideal audience to target.

I would also target ones that are ideal for renting out when you move out so maybe do a lower price point. 

I focus on finding deals that meet specific criteria, and I always keep my underwriting conservative to make sure the numbers work even on a worst case scenario.Right now, my big goal is to land my first property, ideally 20+ units in Florida, and build a strong portfolio from there.

No such requirement for improving rental properties and deducting interest on Schedule E. 

Since you’re focusing on turnkey rentals, DSCR loans are often ideal because they focus more on property income rather than your personal income.
