Based on your description of the situation and may be for lack of enough trade lines (accounts on your credit report). 

I learned a lot going that route and met a lot of people.

@Travis Sterner - I think he means purchasing non-performing notes on discount, not just holding notes from seller financed deals.I met a gentleman, Chad Smith, from Cincy that has been buying them for 30 years across SW OH, northern KY, and SE IN.

In the paper they are required to post the legal description of the property, book/page of deed of trust, date/time of sale, and location of the sale. 

I thought I could have a descriptive like "a real estate investment service" to follow the company name. 

I called around, met a local agent, and ran some numbers.

I'd be happy to help you vet any area you are considering and give you an accurate description of the demographic from a local.I also second the above statements on NE.

In the description, I mention all the reasons WHY having flat rate utilities is so great.Because I include all utilities in my rent, I factor unpaid utilities due to vacancies into my cap-ex.You'll find that there are unlimited ways to do this, so ultimately it's how it best works for you!

They must :)  I actually met a great tax professional in your neck of the woods about two weeks ago, who was down in the Bay Area scouting around as he's going to be investing here soon. :) Let me know if you'd like me to give you his contact info.

if you fit the description, please reach out!
