As for credit, it was excellent a year ago when I bought my personal home 740+, but I'd be willing to guess it's probably dropped to around 700ish due to increased credit utilization as a result of not working for medical reasons.

Then I make an excel spreadsheet listing store name, amount, date and project columns so I can sort them in any order I need and then tally the results.

Turn key can be an excellent way to get in to a cash flow property and if you're objective is cash flow and you plan to hold the property long term, I wouldn't worry too much about short term value fluctuations.

Aside from real estate, I am a marketing data analyst leveraging SQL, excel, and powerbi to provide data insights in my job on a daily basis; an avid traveler; a CrossFit junkie; a loyal sports fan; and a loving husband. 

@Todd Powell excellent information on how you used HELOC for built your RE portfolio.

Transaction histories can be exported to excel at tax time.

I can also recommend the agent I worked with, Brad Ledford with The Art of Real Estate.

I tried cold calling first 20 numbers on excel sheet its just not for me I HATE it.

I have excellent credit and am wondering what price point would be smart to buy my first investment property?

I have an excellent agent to connect you with.
