Shari,I'd say parts of Summerlin command higher rents.

Would you really still be commanding a premium in 15 years or will it be outdated and need to be updated prior to that ?

I knew contacting their chain of command for lack of payment was an option, but I had no idea it would affect their security clearance.

Probably not.A solid class A or B property in a good neighborhood with good schools might have a low cap rate and barely cash flow but your headaches will likely be less and at some point in the future you will still have a desirable property that commands good rents and has appreciated.Well that is at least how it has panned out in my experience.

I am a real estate agent and investor in the TX.Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.Get in touch with a local agent or investor and shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

Similar to STR, the MTR market depends on location and the quality of the finished property to command top $. 

@Faisal Saeed Condos in the areas you listing will certainly command higher rent that a duplex in Lawrenceville but the two trade offs you want to be mindful of are HOA rental restrictions and HOA fees that will cut into you net profit.

(I know that Burlington commands higher rents than other places in New England).

You'll probably even get to the point of countering the bank's counter on your initial offer and play that game a little while; but if it gets to a point where they won't go any lower than the highest amount you are willing to pay, you can always go higher up in the bank's chain of command and fight your way through to someone who can come to an agreed price.
