Or simply use your cell phone hot spot.

I know DFW area is a huge hotspot for RE and I would love to learn and grow and find other investors who are also striving for financial freedom like us! 

If I'm crawling through a HUD house I don't worry about putting it on a counter and using my phone for a hotspot.

We'd be keeping the property because we love it and hope to live in it for part of the year.My target area is:I'm guessing that Hershey, PA is the hot-spot for short-term vacation rentals. 

Because everyone knows so much about the “hot spots” where to build and where not to build, I had no luck.

The back story is I live in a very hot town that is a high tech hot spot. 

William, You need to do the full math, as @Peter M. mentioned and did for you, the percent rules are just for quick analysis like he said. the percentage will analysis people usually use to help tell them if they want to run the numbers further on the property because it fits a certain % criteria. that's OK but does not fit every situation, what if you know the area is an up and coming hot spot and even if the % number is off - because the incoming rent is below market and you know that they will be going up - then the percentage rule will tell you to walk away and you would miss out on a property that a full analysis from the beginning would tell you to jump on that property because you would know that the rents were below market and that they are going up. forget the percent rules, learn the area you want to invest in, you will learn what the area does, the rent it gets and how much would be a good amount to purchase for based on the amount of rent you can collect for that property.

His phone is messed up right now and he can only get texts when he goes into a wifi hotspot, his new phone is in the mail.

Looking to buy a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment in a high rent positive area - from my research i see Dilworth, Plaza Midwood, South Park ar ethe main hot spots?

The same thing in parts of L.A too that used to be “gang areas “ but now hipsters are getting into bidding wars over properties . https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Realtor-Hot-Spot-NYC-Realtor-Yelp-NYC-Rochester-Buffalo-450315393.htmlhttps://www.newyorkstatedestinations.com/explore-niagara/elmwood-village-hipster-hotspot/http://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/group-speaks-out-against-gentrification-in-the-queen-city/1083119084.
