@Samuel ToscanoHi Samuel,I am also from the Los Angeles region and was considering starting out in Cincinnati.

There are good properties out here, but you really have to hunt for a deal and turnkey usually doesn't work too well out here, which is why you don't see a lot of turnkey companies out here compared to other regions.

There is a very limited geographic region that allows vacation rentals.

While I'm sure some regional banks, credit unions, etc. will slightly differ in their weights I would imagine they all care about credit scores, net worth, DSCR, etc.  

I was contacted by the regional manager within hours.Considering the ancillary costs of lending--e.g., administrative fees for loans, administrative fees for property insurance, etc.

Louis is in fact succeeding in attracting tech companies as seen by Microsoft's new regional office in the Cortex innovation district and Pfizer's new $200M headquarters in Chesterfield.

Look for a regional bank that does portfolio lending.

HII would appreciate if you guys can recommend a real estate agent for the Niagara region, Canada.

The properties are all located in south Seattle region;  half are in Seattle proper and the other half in nearby suburbs.   

I am open to considering a lot of different regions, but are some better than others for obtaining financing?
