I’m looking to invest out of my home state, Texas, and have narrowed it down to 3 markets.

You should be able to use departing residence income from the market rent when qualifying for a new primary purchase.

Personally, I invest in properties in C-Class neighborhoods in my market (East Linden and Southern Hilltop), and they’ve been cash-flowing well so far.

Or find a deal first then market it to buyers, then offer on the house and create an agreement with the seller & buyer?

In a highly competitive tourist market like New Orleans, I update my photos weekly. 

I Can only realistically get $1600-$1700 a month renting my house based on the market.

I'm curious to dive deeper into the Santa Fe market and would love to learn from those with local experience.

I'd be interested in any insight on the Sacramento market, esp. from investors in multifamily.

As a result, while the US market is stuck in the lock-in effect, the Canadian market is kinda booming so it makes more sense for Americans to consider Canada nowadays, except for the fact that Canada has on average one of the if not the most unaffordable real estate in the world.Hope this helps.

I believe the value would get passed to them and the current market rate.
