Too many investors make the mistake of trying to treat it like a short-term rental, which is a great way to get yourself into a bind.You can keep more than one security deposit in the same bank account, but it should be held separate from any of your own money.You need two accounts: checking and savings.

Can you do it on the regular platforms like Zillow?

Always check with your CPA. 

Just regular business income?

Also, check the BBB site and there are over 65 complaints, of which many are as recent as the past 2 months.

Hey Evan,I would check out BiggerPockets' Top 2024 Cash Flow Markets spreadsheet.

In fact I'll be visiting Fort Wayne to explore from 7/20-7/23, drop a line if any particular area/places I should check out!

Can anyone recommend some good local investment groups that gather on a regular basis in my area?

Thomas,Check out @Beth Johnson and her book, "the bible of private money lending": "Lend To Live". 

I want to know what kind of loan I should go for assuming everything is check out.
