@Matt SchreiberWe always joke, "if you pay cash, everything cash flows"....There are still opportunities out there and we've been able to get way off of asking for clients here in Reno, NV with the right seller and right offer. 

These cities all offer solid fundamentals in rental markets.

We are actively managing two fund offerings, one focusing on real property (REO and off market properties), the other focusing on Pre-REO (vacant first mortgages).

Quote from @Patricia Steiner: There are several lenders who offer low/no closing cost options for first time homebuyers.

Due to our love of traveling and hating the negatives that LTR brings along, we prefer STR and offering the same memorable experiences to travelers that we have experienced when traveling.

.: Quote from @Stepan Hedz: Phoenix, AZ, offers a young myriad of options for real estate investors, particularly in the distressed sectors.

No need to go through all that work, expense and permits for gas (unless the utility or state is offering a grant). 

Think 10-12% CAP rates.D class areas= Practically no price appreciation, worst/struggling public schools, highest crime rates (especially drugs and violent crime), highest cash flow.
