Increasing your limit will in turn improve your utilization assuming you aren't spending more I usually apply for a new card every 6 months or so - sure you take a hard inquiry (falls off after 2 years, if I remember right) but the increase in credit limit and automatic decrease in utilization actually results in an improvement in my credit score 

Something I’m noticing a lot lately with people starting out in real estate:They’re doing the research.They’re watching the market.They’re waiting for the “right time.”But they’re stuck — not because of rates, prices, or competition.They don’t know their real numbers yet.With insurance costs rising, taxes changing, and lenders getting tighter, guessing no longer works.

If the lender finds out, they will immediately put the loan into default and send a demand notice. 

I've initiated the eviction process (3-day leave the premises notice), and I'm not worried about eventually reaching success there.

I did notice the the STR laws are getting more strict which is why I started to lean more towards the mid term rental side.

Not repairing anything, which is deferred repairs and CapEx stuff decrease your property value and low rents due as well.

I've been noticing here in Houston all the smart investors started building and stopped flipping

I've noticed over the last year or so that it's getting harder and harder to find deals that will satisfy my buyers.

You’re already thinking about this the right way.Zillow is a fine starting point, but as you’ve noticed, it’s only one slice of the deal funnel.

@Joe Daniel Hi Joe, I am just noticing this response.
