Based on that, do you anticipate increasing or decreasing your investments?

If the property is worth $400,000, a note buyer will base their maximum ITV Investment To Value on that value. 

I am still rather new in the investing world, but I know with enough base knowledge and liquid capital of course, I'd be willing to pursue it for sure. 

Make sure your photos are professional, your description is engaging, and you’ve set competitive prices based on your local market.

@Mike Dymskiagree - a lot of new investors are trying to pick a market based on solely on math. 

The DSCR loan would allow you to qualify based on the rent you are collecting and get up to 75% of the value (175 x 0.75 = 131.25k, minus 20k payoff and closing costs.You could get a line of credit or a bridge loan against it to borrow money, but it would be higher interest.

Without that network, self-management would have been nearly impossible for me.Here are a few thoughts based on my experience:1.Showings: From out of state, you’ll likely need to rely on a trusted person to handle this.

Note if you go over 4 units, your valuation will be based on NOI and comp rate.  

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

This method provides an indication of value based on the property's rents.
