Cosmo - I personally don't know Phoenix well, but if I had to do this in another city I would look at income levels, crime levels, and population growth (if you can) by zip code and/or area within a DMA as a starting point.

So to clarify, you CANNOT live in a DSCR property as DSCR is business purpose only and that is not allowed.  5-10 units can also qualify for 30 year fixed DSCR loans as well. 

Well that is a bonus @Collin Hays!

@Samuel Coronado - the challenge is that there will likely be a very small number of renters looking for a house that size, as well as that can afford a rent amount that high who won't just buy otherwise. 

I have run numbers for LTRs on a set of duplexes that seem to cash flow well.

My goal is to help property owners navigate management challenges while ensuring their investments are well taken care of.I’d love to hear from experienced investors about what’s working in the Charleston market and share insights as I gain more hands-on experience.

This happens all the time, usually with heirs, but it can be squatters as well.

Interested as well.

If they’re not able to assist, I also have other LAIC referrals as well that will just provide the service only.

Over the 30+ years my wife and I have walked and pencilled well over a thousand possible deals.
