I look at other characteristics.

Hey @Alex Thibau -- you have options with non-bank & conventional lenders, it just depends on your other characteristics as a borrower.

Only redfish will be attracted.Facebook ads, Youtube ads, PPC, does just that.The ad, "your message", "your offer" is displayed to a specific audience with a specific certain characteristic (to improve the likelihood they will be interested in your offer) and if they are interested they take the bait.

Fortunately, there is a straightforward process that eliminates the need for personal opinions, chances, or emotions.Location - The location of a property determines all long-term income characteristics, such as its potential for appreciation, rent growth, and how long the property is likely to generate income.

@Robb Silverstein- thanks - 1) getting a  solid  realtor  in your corner for  whatever  specific location you want to  look is essential ....this will allow you to be more efficient and  locate  more  options  versus  just looking at  Zllow or RF   2)  try to  get a  set of  characteristics and locations  developed as narrowing  things down will help with the  search   3) if you are needing  financing - get formally pre approved using whatever  hypotehtical scenario you want to use 

While determining that is left to the discretion of the approver, the criteria revolve around whether there's some characteristic of the situation that deprives me of enjoying my property (or my investment) to the same extent that others can. 

Many people incorrectly believe that the distinguishing characteristic of hard money or private money loans is higher interest rate and fees - this is actually the cost - the distinguishing characteristic is that these are loans which are evaluated using the knowledge, experience, risk tolerance, funds supply of the lender rather than a mathematical formula score.

Getting confidence in an out-of-state investment can be challenging, but there are a few steps you can take to help build your confidence:Research the area thoroughly: It's important to do a deep dive into the local market and understand the economic, social, and demographic characteristics of the area.

What I read sounded like a fortune teller grasping at generalities hoping to hit the target.I liked the introductory information about general neighborhood characteristics (non specific) and their importance.

Location determines all long-term income characteristics, including whether rents and prices increase fast enough to offset inflation, the sustainability of rental income, and the overhead costs.
