My head is going to explode as not sure where is best to look at  @Aaron Laprade I admit I might be a bit biased, but Kentucky boasts some of the top short-term rental markets in the country, according to third-party data.

As I find more data on each site, I will update it within the comment section, and I encourage others to share their journey as well!

Also, a big thing for me was data security.

Because that's exactly what the Fed has been turning the thumb screws to achieve. 

OP what are you trying to achieve?  

If your debt is student loans at 6-8% interest your best bet is to pay them down/off as fast as possible as most investments will achieve a similar result but that is gross (before taxes) not net.  

Property shark, prop stream and attom data are pretty popular.You can find a recently renovated property that has sold via zillow.

It’s a great market for long-term appreciation and growth, but it will be harder to achieve cash flow compared with how the Midland home is structured.

This opportunity aligned perfectly with our investment strategy of acquiring homes with untapped potential, enabling us to achieve a solid return on investment through smart renovations and quick resale.

Looking at a property built in the 1980s that the seller says is a 2/1 1606 square feet but all data bases I look at (Zillow, MLS, Propstream) show it as a 1/1 1070 square feet.
