I'm going to move and will be in a location where I can easily invest in a few MSA's within easy driving distance.The challenge to getting a solid handle on what those MSA's are doing overall is finding decent data: it's either for a single point-in-time (not showing year-over-year trends), dated, not reputable/no idea where it comes from, or too much money to take a chance on it answering my questions.Any recommendations?

Hey Everyone,I've been walking properties for months now, diligently running numbers, and preparing myself to begin making offers through my agent.Since I'm determined for 2019 to be the year I finally break into the game, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for reputable contractors in the Albany area.

Go to the biggest firm with the best reputation and ask if some of the agents are investors.

I think my prolongued exploration of it shows I do not want to do anything against rules or I would just do it and not care.   

I will definitely continue exploring the website for more information.Thank you so much.

We are currently exploring which market would work best for us.

Is it time for a reputable mold assessor with years of experience to spend a few hours in one or two of the properties?

Looks like a wealth of information.Thank you @Don Harris, I very much look forward to exploring those avenues.

Let’s explore some examples here:If you purchased a property with a 15% down conventional loan (85% loan to value) and you wanted to get cash out, you wouldn’t be able to do so since the cash out limit is 75% of the “Loan to Value”.

It sounded much safer than pricey Cali where I live since they said you could get a house (Im exploring single and not just multi because of price) in the midwest for 75-100k and then went on to say something along the lines of being able to get lower quality for even less.
