Can you afford to either lose or tie up $50,000 to $100,000 for 5 years?

I personally like the Midwest for its affordability and cash flow potential.

Baltimore is a more affordable market for those like myself that work in Metro DC and don’t mind the commute.

A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.

These pockets are more affordable while still convenient locations, and the new construction appeal mentioned for 27703 is something North Raleigh nor Cary/Morrisville can offer affordably due to being pretty built out.

Pay rent (this will likely happen again next month, we don't renew people who can't afford to pay rent on time)2.

So, we are stuck choosing a house in the middle of the Seattle area or the north end where it's more affordable.

How are we going to afford buying the house, back to your main point? 

@Ryan Rocchi we've heard good things about Rentvine.Also, Buildium is tried and true, plus affordable.
