New companies like Intel, Amazon, and Google are also investing here.I own all of my investment properties here and work with a lot of out-of-state investors in both the east and west coast that love investing here for the turnkey and BRRRR opportunities that we have here.

There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc).

If I rent the rooms MTR, I'd still be short $1600/mo (0.85%).The property has a cottage, split into a micro studio and a one bedroom, and a 3/2 house with a semi-finished, stair-accessible, windowed, empty attic 75% the size of the house. 

I know that @J Scott wrote a pretty good book on the process though, (just finished it this weekend), and I would recommend starting with that.If you purchase the book(s) from BiggerPockets (as opposed to Amazon), they come with a bunch of digital files to supplement the material. 

I can't comment on if there was discrimination or not in your case as I wasn't involved, but the above requirements would be in place if Jeff Bezos called me for a loan to develop a new Amazon Warehouse and was willing to personally guarantee it and pledge his personal mansion and pay triple the normal mortgage broker fee.

I then tore down the detached garage and built a studio with a loft.

Lack of financial acumenI wonder what percentage get into real estate with little to no money and spent most of it on a guru course - it’s no different then people who want to be a day trader or crypto miner or Amazon business.

I have a similar plan... there is a studio apartment underneath the garage.
