The click on / locking type seems like what most investors use, but repairs seem difficult without having to re-do a large area. 

What’s the biggest red flag you watch for when vetting borrowers?

I am pretty sold on DataFlik's stacked lists, but I wanted to run this question by all of the smart investors here at BP. 

If you don't have a good foundation(bad debt paid off, $$ saved up) I would first focus on that.

I'm not sure if this is part of the "Find Deals" feature here on BP, as I haven't used it myself.

FHA is currently streamlining everyone through short sales.

I now want to list a FURNISHED monthly rental - I do see that there are furnished apartments listed on Zillow under the heading "FURNISHED APARTMENTS".

It's important to understand the difference, and I'd recommend sticking with the REIT with depreciation advantages.The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) includes a 199A deduction and applies to certain income from pass-through entities (including REIT dividends) and allows individuals to take the 20% deduction against REIT dividend distributions that yields an effective tax rate of 29.6% or 37% (80% for upper bracket filers).

If you just called someone up and asked how you could help them, you would be ten steps ahead of Bobby, who is stammering through the first line of a script from 1974 about a cash offer when the homeowner bought the house for 51k in 1978 and it's worth 804k (aka does not need cash, he needs a place to go).Agree 💯!

When you research a market, does anyone strictly use reventure.app or propstream, or is it still important to visit websites that show things like population growth, crime rate, unemployment rate, etc.
