When it's sold it will be taxed as capital gains tax and may also have some unrecaptured depreciation which is capped at 25% and  recaptured depreciation as well which can be up to your ordinary income tax rate.

One of my colleagues invests near Yosemite and Lake Tahoe and seems to be doing quite well.

And if your in a Market with a title and escrow companies they can do the transaction for you as well.

The issues that most run into though is the property doesn't cash flow enough to support a higher LTV or most lender require a minimum FICO to qualify for the higher LTVs... some lenders have other experience requirements and reserve requirements as well... all depends. 

I wouldn't touch anything outside the urban core. if your strategy is to buy existing and old I'd recommend not to. as a newer investor depending on your liquidity look at build to rent development. building investment properties below market value by 25% and refinancing out of it to do it again. the urban core has tax abatements as well that are 15 years right now you can apply for. that means that taxes will be around $600 to $800 per year. there's cash Flow but the existing inventory market dried up a few years ago in the urban core. local realtors are going to push you to the trash areas like hilltop, south linden, etc because it's the only place numbers work. columbus is great, but remember a tenant who pays $1800 a month is different than a tenant who pays $900 a month. let me know if I can help any other way!
