Further, the writers conclusions are usually “a stretch” based on the data we have. 4.

I'm interested in exploring real estate investing and I'm considered attending meetups to learn and connect with people.

Hi Jim, if the property isn't being used as a STR currently, certain DSCR lenders can use data like AirDNA to qualify for financing.

I’m also wondering how to decide between investing locally versus exploring other areas.Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve actually co-owned w my mom for most of the last decade but am exploring options w friends and am just wondering how many others are out there that have either done it or thought about. 

Now we have where data get's interesting, RESULT of the sale.

I also have no intention of investing in rental properties in the UK no more due to a lot of horror stories and potential new changes in laws, which is why I am very eager to explore the US rental market.I am not a US citizen, my partner is and it will be a joint venture.

If you are interested in more data about the area, enter the zip code (37208) into areavibes.com or city-data.com.

I highly suggest against that and just doing one larger rent increase to $1000, but if you are only trying to do one unit at a time, make sure you don't try to make a drastic increase to all 4 tenants if you can't afford for all 4 of them to be out at once.I'd consider showing them some data on comparable rentals and let them know you are trying to improve the building by renovating the units.

If there are opportunities for collaboration or sharing industry insights, I would be delighted to explore them further.
