Finding some attractive looking deals, I'm an out of state investor, looking to buy and hold for rental/cash flow purposes, how has this area changed over the years/performed for people?

@Alex Bekeza  it's a fixed for the life of the loan, structured like a conventional mortgage which is what attracted me to this particular estimate. 

If it is a property that attracts and keeps good tenants, you are even further along.

It's easier to sleep when a hail storm is rolling through the area, as I am only responsible for "studs in".The newer age of the units has provided very few maintenence requests and the neighborhoods attract very good neighbors and have a great school district.All that being said, my CoC returns leave some to be desired (7.xx%), but I have had great returns on appreciation with the areas boom.

I'm interested to see what other creative, outside-the-box methods the BP community has used in the past to market their properties to attract tenants or buyers.

On the surface, these deals just wouldn't look that attractive. 

In the meantime, my PM keeps finding attractive deals in my hometown.

There are a ton of multi families in Augusta, most are in rough shape and rents low enough to attract tenants who I would not want to rent to.  

Re: 2 BR vs 1 BR - 2 is markedly more flexible and attractive than 1. (3 is even better, obvi) You’ll have a very hard time putting a family in a 1 BR
