If you are buying to live in, you could also do FHA with a cosigner.

My airbnb posting just went live yesterday. 

So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

My name is Cesar and I am originally from Puerto Rico but have been living in Virginia for over 20 years.

I live here and I haven't seen more FSBO but I'm seeing a lot more wholesaling activity.  

Hello everyone, my name is Anthony Poulin and I live in Westchester County in New York.

China as a low cost producer is past- they have aged and standard of living out.  

Hey @John FriendasI have purchased 4 of my Co-Living (rent by room) properties with DSCR, 1 of them within the last few months.Not that I necessarily recommend this, but there are short-term-rental DSCR products.

I am starting with a small budget(100k-120k) so trying to understand which neighborhoods I should focus on, would love to get recommendations if you have :) I live south of the city and only like to go about 30 minutes away from home. 

So they will rent without buying even though buying is available to them but they dont want to live where its affordable.
