Outside of that property class, things here are super competitive, the same as everywhere else.

Being that competition is big, it no longer makes sense the numbers that have to be offered in order to get the deal.I’m looking in to shifting to out of state and I’m open to be on site pretty often by hopping on to a flight.I’m debating between markets in TX and Ohio but in the same time willing to hear that I’m completely off between these 2 states or that their are better.I am looking for places where population is growing, prices are not too high, landlord friendly, rent are above $1200 for 2BR, big businesses and jobs and a very big focus by me is to be in a safe area.I would appreciate if I can get some honest opinions on this.

So your competition is getting larger as a landlord.Traffic and infrastructure are starting to have issues keeping up with all of the building.

An illegal ADU has a fraction of the value of a legal ADU.  

The competition, the feeling when you win, the grind to be the best.

I have been reading lately about high interest rates, high prices, low inventory, too much competition, no cash flow, etc.

Rates on DSCR are just as competitive if not better than conventional financing.Conventional loans are dying in the investment space

I am looking for an investment property, and I just figure that I will find better deals if I look for them myself as the MLS seems to be incredibly competitive in my market.

Best there is at navigating the complex landscape out here and helping you make the right purchase to be competitive in the STR market. 

Things to consider are pretty simple, if you can find a property jump on it, there is extremely little inventory and it is highly competitive with the majority homes on the market selling over ask in very few DOM.
