It's a little pricey, but it's been my API of choice thus far.Once you get an API key, you can use their documentation page to test out the API (or just use Postman) before building out any scripts or apps.I had the same objective as you and have found Rentcast to be a good solution.

Appreciation is just the cherry on top.The last few years Toledo somewhat caught up with appreciation but I believe we are capped now.It's a slow moving market and always behind the rest of the country.There is just not enough demand/infrastructure growth like in other markets to support continued appreciation.Historical data shows the Toledo market appreciating at the pace of inflation which is nothing to brag about hehe.IMO, it's a cashflow play and you should consider building a larger portfolio because it will be safer.Owning 1-2 properties can be a "hit and a miss" and really not the providers or PM's fault.There is a high likelihood of turnover so it's important to build a larger portfolio.If you experience "drama" on 1 or 2 properties, the other 4-5 are performing and can subsidize any losses incurred on the few that temporarily aren't performing.Wishing you much success

I am interested to see how all this plays out. 

Ideally if we played the cards right we would have option to take some of the init you do  Equity out after adding value.Thanks for the help!

I’m a RETA member and have been considering the plays deal and their newest one in Merida but this kinda scares me that I can maybe get a better deal elsewhere.

Determining whether the venture falls under a service or rental business hinges on the provision of substantial services; for instance, if a bed and breakfast service is offered, it must be reported on Schedule C, triggering a 15.3% self-employment tax.Moreover, personal use plays a crucial role in the classification of the property.

And that is actually why I put that part in the post because that plays into my decision here. 

Decide which game you want to play.

A rent by the room or roommate strategy is great for expensive markets, making it more of an equity and cost reduction play for the long term.

I know you play ball in the field Engelo, so you need primetime ammo and artillery.
