@Annie Thompson  I think one of the main functions of the site is to compare actual product side by side and compare cities and see what kinds of returns.. are out their from the providers that post their inventory  its real inventory that can be bought and you don't need to go to a squeeze page to get the super secret inventory lists LOL..I would not base a buy decision solely on  online reviews.. 

Even google chrome can be used as a editor.2) Use wix to create your site, and then, cheat the system my downloading the end product and uploading to your own free hosting.

I just can't really see why NOT to go with someone else if their programs/products "shine".Thank you for any input.Ben

Hello @James Wilson, @Greg Harriman.If you haven't already, you should read up on the BRRRR strategy, it's pretty simple but has a lot of potential for your situation, and it nicely sidesteps the DTI ratio issue:Buy: with hard money, advantage here is that the property is paid for with cash, so you can just put in an LLC immediately.Rehab: either with the loan or your capitalRent: get a tenant inRefinance: ideally, start this process as soon as you buy, look to cash-out and essentially have a new property at 25% down, on a nice 30-yr. term.Repeat!

Greater returns and more available product in Cle.

There will be an excess supply of units and small landlords will be competing against product designed expressly for millenial tastes.

There is essentially no cash flow to renting out my house, other than the loan paydown, and appreciation.I purchased the house for 450k, owe 404k now and the appraisal just came in at 650k.

In other cases, the second property is essentially free and just comes as baggage with the property the buyer ultimately wanted.

You are the end product of their meticulously designed sales pitch, and they use every buzz word to lock up your emotions in just the right way.

I like brevitas as a newer site and costar's products.
