I'm going to move and will be in a location where I can easily invest in a few MSA's within easy driving distance.The challenge to getting a solid handle on what those MSA's are doing overall is finding decent data: it's either for a single point-in-time (not showing year-over-year trends), dated, not reputable/no idea where it comes from, or too much money to take a chance on it answering my questions.Any recommendations?

It may not be as easy as having a realtor bring you a deal.

@Tiana Engstrom if you are getting good cash flow, there will be good appreciation and the property will be relatively easy to sell if necessary in the future then definitely keep the property and do a HELOC.

I’ll try to make this as easy to understand as possible.

Managing rentals isn't easy, lots of different skills to be good at all at the same time! 

Standard double hung windows are DIY and easy.  

Some are conveyed by Special Warranty Deed but Quit Claim is quick and easy and very often used when only a few hundred dollars is being passed here in Navajo county, Arizona......The ones I'm going to sell I plan on selling by Special Warranty Deed (some I'm keeping) like I see many big investors doing in this area.......

SCOTT's book "The book on flipping houses",It is amazing one, and explain the difference between both of them in an easy way.regards, and Good luck

@Maria Keating - you are a CPA so the numbers should come easy to!  

A HELOC can be a very easy and powerful tool to invest in real estate as long as you are smart about it or you will loose your home and mess up your credit.
