I came across a colored chart b Trilia that showed the rate of return for a rental property and middle of the country and upper great lake region have high rates of return.

I am an investor living in the South Willamette Valley, Eugene to be precise.

I'm a visual person, so I built a simple, but powerful chart that I look at every day that shows my progress towards my goal. 

(The question, more precisely I think, is -  What would you do with $20K in regard to real estate that would generate the best return or cash flow?)

The seller thinks the property will pull more income since he used this chart with his numbers here: https://www.mortgagecalculator.org/?

. ~2.0x equity multiple is more commonly projected on 3-5 year holds if I'm being more precise.

The job growth chart in my last post had an error in it.

In browsing the forums, someone posted the following link: madisonmanagement.net/investors/foreclosure-by-state/  This seems like a pretty good chart with some of the basic requirements of each state in the foreclosure process. 

@Mindy JensenI appreciate the response and I guess that is precisely where I need to start because all of the things that you did mention such as credit and income are things that I do not have at the moment as a college student but thank for the input so that I can at least have an idea of where to start because it literally seemed absurd to just walk into a bank at the age of 19 with no income and no credit, asking for a loan. 

Does anyone have any charts or info on how the housing market correlates to the stock market?
