In Cincinnati, where houses are still relatively affordable compared to coastal metros, I won't say there are a lot of properties that will hit this mark, but there are certainly some, so no need to jump at low yield properties, when I know another higher yield one will come, even if it takes several months or so.  

@Bubba McCantsWe have clients in the Reno Tahoe, NV area that are taking a bit of hit on the cash flow because of the above average appreciation growth boosted by tech jobs and people moving from CA.

You won't hit everything on your list but know exactly what you want and don't want.

Just provide a cushion for the inevitable "rookie" tax that will hit.  

But for my local market I am bullish, so we continue to grow our rental protfolio, maybe I can still get a few more AO's before the spring market hits us. 

@Nathan Gesner hit the nail on the head about finding a rockstar Realtor.

Loan to value ratio: The higher the loan to value ratio (LTV) is, pricing takes a hit.

Hit me up if you want to know how I did it.I wish you all the best.

There are also banks that are staying away from office + retail even though retail sectors seem to be not hit as badly as everyone thought they would be. 

I later heard but never exactly why, that the place was an absolute money pit and the buyer, who was very experienced, regretted buying it big time.It is interesting, but I ALWAYS do at least a bit of research on the prior owners and have found few "hard luck" stories, at least as far as either higher or high priced single fams go, they're by far the same story where the owner makes the financial decision to walk away, mainly due to the insane HELOC's etc they were giving out, like 125% of home's current value back in like 2006, so now they'll owe literally like $750k on a home that IF in great shape would at best fetch $500k, PLUS they trashed or semi-trashed the place, so they'd be really lucky to get $400k as is and often they may be business owners or whatever and have a relationship with a local bank who will then know "the whole story" behind the big hit they take to their credit score and not treat it nearly as harshly as the average Joe, who's practically banned from even entering the bank for years!
