I have been investing for awhile but have only recently started picking up properties that I know will not cashflow because of the prices in the area I invest (Dallas/Fort Worth) and the higher rates.I am still picking them up because it will still pay down debt and provide me with depreciation that I can use to offset my flipping and lending income.

Many don't pick up the phone past 5pm or before 9am, don't work on the weekends, only push files in and do not really review them, and are difficult to get a hold of. 

I pick them up all the time.

If I were to pick one as you asked, I would stay on the beach side of Tampa Bay.

Looking forward to hearing your insights and hopefully picking up a few new tools to add to my arsenal!

Quote from @V.G Jason: Demand will pick up as rates retrace.

If it were me, I would pick investing in Texas if I were living there over investing OOS in some random city.

Pick a great community and buy the worst house and BRRRR.  

If the #s check out via savings or heloc, you can pick up another rental income property in a Medium Cost of Living City vs NYC.

Investors can say their HOA has various rules, but your sample size is going to be much too small to be meaningful.Instead, I recommend picking some listings you are interested in and researching the HOA rules and fees yourself.
