I have grown insanely skeptical of BP over the last 5 years, yet somehow I am trying the lead generation for both property management and now as a featured agent.

These are the top three features I always keep in mind when evaluating a potential property:1️⃣ Location Matters: Properties near attractions, with great walkability, or offering something unique—like a waterfront or mountain view—tend to perform better.

New year, new laws (Senate bills 205, 206 & 207).Effective January 2, 2025, Michigan landlords can no longer consider a tenant's source of income when screening them. 

Paid platforms often offer additional features like market analytics, off-market property leads, and filters for investor-specific criteria, giving them a leg up over free options.Exactly, most platforms have to offset cost somewhere because of how expensive it is to keep the data up to date.

I did not want to simply rely on one source so I figured there are people here that would be up-to-date if such a manner was so as well.

FYI I do have plenty of reserves for my other units already, but would like to keep each property separate.My question is, where should I draw funds from to pay the least amount in penalties, taxes, loan interest, etc. from the following sources I have available:- 20 year 401k loan for a property- Sell a piece of my stock portfolio at 15% capital gains tax- Take a HELOC against an existing property- Private money loan from a trusted partner I have worked with beforeAlternatively, I could pool the reserves for all my properties to ensure I can cover anything immediate and know that I could always sell off a piece of my stock portfolio if needed and have the funds within 3 business days or set up a HELOC and only draw from it if needed.Appreciate any thoughts or what you have done in the past.

I'm data driven and would love to immerse myself in IL, AL, MC specific property, demographic and investor-centric data sources the same way I've done in my previous area of focus.
