Thanks for the clarity Jason. This will be an investment property, I don't know much about a DSCR loan but I'll consider it while I shop around for a lender.

Hello everyone! I have questions about how to approach a bank for a loan when trying to buy a house out-of-state. Does anyone have an example of a loan proposal or what should be on it. I am currently making a list of at least 4 lenders to reach out to. Thanks in advance!

Quote from @Conner Olsen:
@Kashta Andrade Booker You can invest in Portland but you might have to change your strategy. I'm investing in Austin and I hear the markets have a lot of similarities. If you furnish your property and rent it monthly to traveling nurses, people needing temporary housing, WFH people, etc. you can greatly increase your rent revenue. I doubled my rent just by furnishing and listing it on Airbnb. Went from $1,200/month to $2,700/month for $5k worth of furniture. I'm going to cashflow $1,500/month and capture all the crazy Austin appreciation. Win-Win!
I will definitely consider this approach. Thank you!

Hi all,
I'm a newbie and plan to co-sign and invest with my brother. Can anyone help with a strategy to use when analyzing deals in a low volume high cost market like Portland OR? What would I look for that would make it a potential deal if there is negative cashflow in my analysis?
I've been putting in reps on analyzing properties on the MLS and I am feeling stuck because the negative COC returns. I'd like some insight as to whether I'm wasting my time in this market or I'm running my numbers wrong.
Here's an example of a property my realtor found for me.
Pre-approved for 380k SFH or 500k for a Duplex
Purchase Price of the Property: $415k 3b/1bth & 2b/1bth (the 3/1 is occupied 2/1 vacant)
Loan terms: 30yr FHA 3.5% down
4.65-5% Interest Rate
Mortgage $2,149
$1,450 Rental Income
$3,037 Expenses
-$1,587 Cashflow
-97.59% COC ROI
P.S. I am flying out to Colorado this weekend for the Real Estate Rookie bootcamp and am hoping to gain more clarity.
