I'm based in WI and there are several people from NY investing here, some successful and some not---the common thread I see from the ones that are not is that they relied on someone else for information instead of investigating, VERIFYING and doing their own due diligence. 

Also, you could also hang out at some local ice rinks where people take their kids to hockey practice!

Buyers could look at a DSCR loan which does take into account the revenue from the rent but it doesn't count towards the value of the property.Now, buyers could look at a business loan of some kind but I am not sure they would qualify if it is only one property and even then, the value is mostly in the property and not the possible revenue. 

There were many other questions when I read over the three different term sections that needed agreement to continue with the service, but I never got a response from support on the major noncommercial use clause.Plus, if over 2,600 people are using the product, how many times do you think an agent is going to get messages from various investors through the platform?

The idea of restricting what you do with your own cash, just because it was a refi, is probably unconstitutional.I know a lot of people investing in Texas from both inside and outside Texas. 

I believe if you change jobs or leave that job, you have to pay that loan back or else it counts as a distribution.

Definitely will talk to people in my office.

Like I have told many, there are several people who know how to make this work, and you are one of them. 

Those are all people that work for the company.

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.
