I've been scanning Zillow and redfin for weeks, analyzing information and trying to put the pieces together, but I have not yet determined the excact criteria for my search.

@Casey Gregersen I've been searching for HELOCs on my Houston properties as well, and am currently working with PenFed.

Do a search for "loan fraud, conviction & sentencing" It makes for sobering reading. 

@Ilona KovacsI've been teaching & coaching for 8+ years now on all things Self Storage - buying & operating an Existing Facility, Development & Conversions, and Raising Private Money too.As there is a fine line on how much self-promoting one can do on this forum, please either PM me or google my name on the internet. 

I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on searching for a rental in one of these areas and the methodology she should be using to find a place.

I’ve became abscessed with searching for property on the Internet keeping all the criteria in my head that I have learned.

The county office suggests that you do a title search.

Full title search will be complete tomorrow so I'll know if there are any more liens to cover.  

Instead of finding a buyer, I decided this would be my chance to start flipping and I aggressively started searching for a hard money lender.

I am assuming everything except gas but I am unsure and can’t find an answer on google.
