To do a clean BRRRR in today's interest rate and highly competitive environment is very difficult.

DO you have a day job that makes this even more difficult?

so new investors looking to cash flow = as difficult as everexperienced investors looking to build wealth via equity = still possible

I am looking at a prospective out of state long distance deal that has been difficult to obtain lending on as there is both a regular home and mobile home on the same property and the mobile home causes the potential investment to not meet conventional guidelines and therefore not even DSCR loans are an option.

Makes sense though - it's like pricing, it's very easy to price units in a condo building since they are all so similiar vs a custom home which can be very difficult to evaluate. 

It is a beautiful area but because of the zoning and rules up there it would be difficult for the area to "blow up" and have a ton of new growth.

I have a duplex that I owner occupy here that works great, however finding a new deal that makes sense is difficult in Madison.I grew up in the Janesville area but really am not familiar with it anymore in regards to the neighborhoods.

it is going to be extremely difficult to buy a property in a market you don't know and don't live in, and operate successfullyfor example - don't do thishttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...

buying a money pit you haven't seen in a market you don't know thousands of miles away, and then being beholden to agents and contractors and others you've never met.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...the market right now is unforgiving and it's going to take something difficult or creative to be successful. 

It sounds like a poor business decision but its very difficult to get cash flow in A class assets.
