@Kaias BlancoI will share with you some advice I got when I was about your age… maybe a few years older… I’m now 54… and this advice has served me well through the years; and it sounds so simplistic:   “You are where you are because you choose to be there.”What that means is that the limits as you currently see them are self imposed.  

However, the losses will be limited.

This is my limited experience, and it's worked out well so far.

If this isn't a separate dwelling unit you can't take losses from the rooms / space you are renting and use them to offset non-passive income (Section 280A of the tax code)Rental expenses are limited to the amount of your rental income and the balance of rental expenses is carried forward.

It included similar "loss of rental income", same liability limits, included building code upgrade, vandalism and even 10% for water damage and 5K for rot.  

As an out of state investor, I’m not limited to those areas.

So my property is at the edge of a city limits  3 house to the right starts a new city and my appraiser said i can only use comps in my city limits i can’t go out of my city limits has anyone else experience this or have information on if that is correct 

These options can help meet your DTI limits and secure a property in the $300-$400k range.Good luck!
