First and foremost, the city has maintained a reputation for housing affordability, making it an attractive option for both investors and homebuyers seeking reasonable property prices.

One way I have used to find these issues is to use a self leveling laser and mark places at the same level around the space, then measure from there to the floor to determine where it is higher or lower.

Couldn't they just require you to pay the money back in 30 days and not give you the option to change the title?

My team and I have been testing a few options since January and the favorite by far has been Monarch Money.  

If you are going to take the deal I would try to find options that do not have a prepayment penalty or maybe up to 1 year.

Markets like Cleveland and Columbus have a lower barrier to entry, are landlord-friendly and you can cash flow.
