That generally means getting paint from someplace like Sherwin Williams and using one of their long-term colors.

Long term Appreciation is likely to happen.  

So that alone is evidence that what you have been told is wrong.Secondly.. if it is 99% accurate that a list of 2K gets you a deal.. what stops EVERYONE to get a list and thus that means Guaranteed success.

I think you're on the right track in terms of it's proximity to other MSA's.  

Hello,My Wife and I own several long-term rentals in the southeast.

Cash flow is definitely the biggest challenge; both in terms of finding properties to buy that cash flow with a loan on them and just company wide given interest rates and labor/material is up and, at least where I'm at in Jackson County, MO, taxes are way up too. 

Ultimately, you will need to have the borrowed funds in USD and ideally in your US business entity bank account to sail through underwriting with US lenders on US properties.Caveat: the rates will likely be something like 10-12% so it would not make sense on a long-term holding, more like on a down payment on a purchase and rehab value-add project that you will eventually sell (or cash-out refinance) to pay off the borrowed funds in a few months. 

These properties are tenant-ready properties and support long-term growth. 

I like this idea because it reduces the potential vacancy I could have by doing a short 3- to 4-month lease that ends in April or May, then starting over with a year lease.

Another possibility I looked into is simply leave the current SFH as is since we have long term tenant, but build ADUs on the lot.
