So what we're not pivoting back to is our roots... to build out agent focused sites, specifically for agents who are "hybrid or hybrid curious" (Meaning they also are investors and want to attract motivated house sellers as well), and who are focused on wanting to pull in sellers vs. buyers.

Agreed,Lot's of deals to be found in Ohio.Tougher nowadays but still enough to stay busy.Just to answer the OP's initial question also.Loosing on a deal in the first few years is risky business.When I first started investing in 2010 and back home in Australia, I built a large portfolio and fairly quickly.Lot's of debt...Monthly mortgages where costing me more than I was generating in income.It was a slow bleed so I decided to liquidate and move to cashflow friendly markets in the US (Specifically Ohio).In hindsight, those same properties if owned today would have made me millions in capital gain profits.So if you are looking for an appreciation play, make sure to have enough income from your W2 or other means to withstand the slow monthly bleed until the properties appreciate so much that you end up being in the green even tho you bled monthly.Again, very risky business IMO.Much success

The specific language is below and I've included a link to Fannie Mae's site as well.

This is standard for ACH so this is not specific to Buildium as you could encounter this with any ACH payment if the tenant lies and says it was not authorized. 

What is the criteria for this data?

Trust but verify.Any specific questions I can answer?

I’m using a little bit of a different strategy to start off due to my specific situation, but definitely in the MTR space. 

But I have specific questions about the steps that I can’t find the answers to.

@Carlos Hidalgo for specific questions on your individual market it's best to connect with other investors/experts in your area.  

Once you do that, you narrow down the areas that meet that criteria.
