I use apartments.com for my multi families as well as Zillow.  

If you have a well-documented paper trail of problems, it would be hard to contest a non-renewal.

I'm located in the KC market as well - this is the place to be!

I'd also really appreciate any thoughts on choosing a big national bank vs. a smaller organization, as well as advice on how to filter through banking options to find a good fit. 

I am new to RE investing & BP as well. 

Sending you a dm as well!

Hi Aqsa,I'm bias but then again, I've owned real estate all over and haven't found a better market for sub $100,000 than Toledo.Low entry price pointHigh cashflowEmployed tenants that pay rent onlineDecent areas with well kept homesNot much appreciation so IMO it's a strict cashflow play.If you find and buy off-market you can snag some great deals for sub $60,000 purchase and rehab.Quality of workmanship is the downside and so is motivation of other folks needed to make investing from out of state work.So beware.These are the downsides bit like with any market, you will always have pro's and con's.All the best 👍

Our forums are a great place to ask as well.

They have a great track record and seem to do well there but I may want to try a B class at some point.  

Karen, I've talked to hundreds of investors about their experiences on both of those platforms, as well as many others.
