My ultimate goal is to save up enough money to invest in a fix and flip property(which my family has been doing for a while) and live in it, until I rent it out and use the equity for another home.For any real estate agents or professionals in general, how do you find consistant deals?

The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list for both two-bedroom and three-bedroom rental searches.The report also notes a shift towards more apartment searches, influenced by the scarcity of single-family homes and rising interest rates.

It depends on your goals—if you're focused on growth, Cleveland might be the better choice, but if you want consistent rental income, Toledo could work well.

no reports of incidents with our residents but there were some people injured and some homes damaged. 

HELOCs are specifically helpful in this case so long as you are consistent with paying it back in a timely manner for the next transaction.

A HELOC should be reported on your credit profile as real-estate related.

Most states require them to produce a report with that data to give to the client.So why is having an algorithm look at the rental data illegal, but an individual person look at the data not?
