Ask them if they'd mind sharing their experience with you.. if they'd recommend the area or not, and lastly if they could maybe send you a P/L sheet to see their income, expenses etc.You might run into some hosts that aren't responsive or any help, but it just takes a few people to share insight to get a good idea of the market you're dealing with.

@Jaedon StoutBRRRR Strategy - This works well when buying properties below market value and rehabbing them to increase equity.

Great marketing material on. 

This will be costly in today's market and interest rates, but might be worth a shot if they can afford to stay.If they don't want to stay and you want the the townhome to rent to someone else and just want to assume the loan, well then she can call the lender and see if the loan is assumable. 

So, maybe do 30-50% down, for better cashflow and make sure you have reserves for mortgage payments in case there's a rental market dip in the future.DM us if you have any more questions:)

The "best market" is less about the market per se and more about the deal you're able to find in my opinion.

I am in the Port Saint Lucie, Fl market and i have an airbnb that is doing quite well from an income perspective. 

Syracuse is definitely experiencing a lot of hype at the moment because of Micron, and we're seeing lots of renovated options on the market in areas that likely won't benefit from the new campus.

Look at their marketing strategy.

In today’s market most homes will be worth more than their outstanding loan balance unless they are VERY recent purchases with little to no money down.
