Each lender will be willing to provide a ballpark rate quote with some simple info such as FICO score, property type, location, term, and desired LTV.

I am a part time agent and investor located in Leander, TX.

I also don't want to focus on one market, and not be able to score the right property for who knows how long, and then end up missing out on other locations, as being a long distance land lord is very popular as well.

Quote from @Kornelius Friske: We have a STR located in peoria AZ. it's 6 beds (garage conversion) and about 3900 sq ft in total. our energy bill last month was $450 and has been hovering in the $350-$450 range since we went live in august.

Your property taxes will also be higher as you can't use the home owner's grant.There might be local RE meet ups in Vancouver area where you can go and listen to what others have to say. 

They offer networking opportunities, education, and local insights for landlords.4.

Conveniently located in Bryan TX, within walking distance to A&M Bus stop and a short 5 minutes drive to College Station, home to the largest university in the state, Texas A&M.

Do you remember the name and location of the senior complex you toured?

@Daniel GrantzRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Ana Vhan there are many commercial options where you can add multiple locations/multiple states onto a single policy.
