@Adam ShaThe only person that can properly answer this question is someone that analyses markets on a national level or someone that invests in all 3 of these markets.The answers you're going to get from everyone on this forum that falls outside of the above is going to simply tell you their market is the best market. 

@Colby Wartman This is not tax or legal advice but my opinion as a person who qualifies as a real estate tax professional. 1.

I'm excited to share a small win in my journey into out-of-state real estate investing!

A win for one person, is a total loss for another.

I currently have a home warranty on my personal home, and have always been un-happy with it.

Not clear from this who its been sold to, since it just says "to the person or persons legally entitled thereto".

If anyone know a good private lender for the midwest (illinois) please share.... :) I work for a new direct lender, Dunmor. 

The rates are always going to be different between anything that is for personal use and anything that is considered purely investment.

Could you please DM me and share your information and lending terms?

I think what should happen is that whoever they got it from should be able to email it to that person - so if I applied at trans Union within their system I can add who to send too and it would go to themI wouldn’t trust it coming from someone.
