I personally would never invest somewhere that could outlaw rentals.

Any local bank that does this kind of financing should be able to approve you as long as you have a good enough credit score and never declared BK.

Avoiding accessive PM fees (personally I recommend most people self-manage)These will eat away at your ROI.

If you make the person an LLC employee you can get around it, but partner does need to be careful. 

I am still personally buying rentals but I am not expecting much in the way of cash flow at the moment.

We are now at 21 doors under management and 3 are personal units that we self manage.

I'm going to exclude my personal residence from this because I don't view this as an investment, I need a place to live.Excluding my primary residence my current breakdown is 47% real estate 53% stocks/cash. 

Would love feedback from anyone with personal investing and/or property management experience in these cities.

Great for personal residence but not for scaling.  

Talk to others they work with and ask for references if you don't know them personally.
