I would also be concentrating on Oakley, Hyde Park and Mt.

The condo is an ideal rental property (the immediate area has a high concentration of rental units), but if I rent at current market rates, I will lose more than $6,000/year.I already did a HARP refinance six years ago, so that option isn’t available.  

I'm trying to concentrate on what I know but I do worry :) Remembering is easy now, difficult in front of a future boss.

I'd really concentrate on trying to get a job prior to moving up there.Best of luck with your move, and if you run out of food at least you have plenty of stew meat  ;)(kidding on the stew meat)

And, they may well drive your rents up as you will often find other nearby businesses tapping into a larger concentrated population. :) 

I have found that concentrating is easier than diversifying. 

Like  a Seattle funding.. or Lima or others... but I find the closer the lender is to the property the easier it is.will be interesting to see where the B2R and Colony funding arms end up... as they enter the space with Billions..Along with the Crowdfunding sites that are getting some pretty good traction in the debt space.. they are a little spread out to give any local lender much competition but if they concentrated on a market they could certainly bust into a local HML  playground and take market share  as their rates are usually more competitive.

I am now concentrating on the wholesale and rehab of properties which is where I would like my company to develop. 

Having bought several from Cash Auctions recently, we already qualified, but it wasn't the type of property we are now concentrating on.

I concentrate in the MD/DC areas.
