The typical method of going through a real estate agent and using MLS doesn't seem like the ideal path (if only the easiest and most typical).  

It just takes some plugging away - either banishing the lowest-balance CCs first or finding some consolidation method (HELOC, mortgage, whatever). 

@Lee Ribeiro lots to go over here so I'll try my best to address these one at a time:"Getting mortgage under my name to get around me being on title less than 6 months" - this method will NOT get around this Fannie/Freddie requirement. 

Is there a method to this classification?

It might prevent drafts in very old windows but there are better and less expensive methods. 

Unfortunately, marketing is not really the top skill to be great at locating good properties, buying them properly, renovating them to at or above retail standards eliminating deferred maintenance and then acquiring quality, long-term residents and managing them properly.

@Brett Leavitt This is amazing, I really need to figure out my local market soon to see how i can best apply this method.  

Go with the Reverend @Lucas Carl method. 

It's unlikely a true "A" will get you 10%, the lower quality the property, the harder your landlording job will be, etc. 

Now we've begun to consider the idea of real estate investing via the method of live-in flipping or a live-in flip - BRRR hybrid method.
