@Jesse Bennett I haven't tried this yet, we use a real estate agent which gives us access to everyone on the local MLS.

Lenders that offer loans for foreign national buyers have access to financing up to 80% in some instances. 

When I signed up for BP Pro, I was under the assumption that it included the access to the audio books.

Your agent will have the comps and she might know more about the property than you may know because she has access to the applicable  information or she knows where to get it.  

This approach allows you to access funds as needed, potentially covering the purchase of a slightly distressed property within your price range.

Depending on credit history and how the property would perform from a rental income standpoint you may have access to up to 85% financing on an investment property 1-4 unit purchase. 

It sounds more like the applicant purchases the credit report and gives access through the credit agency to the landlords who have to accept it if it is less than 30 days old.

Oh I see @Jay Hinrichs the old stuff seems harder to access not sure sorry not to read your whole question. i have wondered that about the older ones too, they were better more realistic.

I would think about this in terms of A) prices to access the market and B) overall market growth. 

Things like accessibility, entertainment, lifestyle, surrounding road/property conditions make the southern part of the island low on my list.
