I would lay eyes on anything you are considering purchasing first hand.

Rentals are tough based on the rents vs the purchase price of homes out there.

Scaling-  your question is both country and even town specific.  

@Ofir R.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I am bullish on the FHA 203k and home-style renovation loans that allow you to leverage the cost of your renovation as part of your mortgage, which is just an insane deal, in my opinion.Do you have a specific area where you want to purchase?

They don’t answer any specific questions you have.

There are specific rules on when rent increases can be submitted for review, but there are no guarantees when they will respond.

Specifically, what research results told you these were two good cities to invest in?
