@Gary Bonds the only way you'll bet a business loan as a newbie, is by cosigning for your business.You'd be better off getting a business credit card you personally cosign for to start establishing business credit.

Therefore, I try to find a more user friendly web site that can distill the above into something that is readable.  

I do see a ton of 2 unit houses on Zillow, so would it be a good bet that these are landlords trying to unload their stock before student housing regs kick in?

The main drivers1) Local Inventory2) 10 year treasury(macro)3) Personal Debt levels(macro)4) Real Unemployment(not the unemployment number but real white collar job loss ratio'd to part time jobs). 5) Industry proliferation(can't tell me a tech or finance hub moves like a health hub).To tell me #2 will derive from the same inputs as it did in Sep/Oct, I'm willing to bet it won't.

I've bet on the stock market and I've played slow and steady income on the stock market.

ThanksI bet that's a good short term rental market!

I bet if they found a subsurface problem, I would own those. :-)ps.

Your best bet is to get an estoppel that verifies their lease dates, rent being paid, security deposit, and advanced rent.

Your best bet for that size will be local banks and credit unions, good luck.

Otherwise, rent-by-room is probably your best bet.
