One of my lenders in my group found out that the New Western didn't disclose fire damage to a property.

I'm originally from Western PA as well (Slippery Rock) and now reside in Atlanta.Here is how I am looking at it along with the assumptions I am making:1) I think the growth prospects are better in the Atlanta market than Pittsburgh from a pure demographics standpoint.2) I estimate your return on equity at 7.2% currently3) Over the long haul appreciation is going to take you further when it comes to net worth than cashflow will4) Doubling of the roofs is doubling the expensesThings to consider:1) What is the year built of your Atlanta property vs. what you could replace it with in PGH?

I am definitely looking in the Sarasota and Clearwater area so not dead set Tampa but somewhat in the Florida West Coast area.

Along with that, retailers that actually do accept it, treat it more like an intermediary, assisting in facilitating the transaction (like visa/mastercard/western union/etc.), than they do a currency. 

@Jay Seville can't speak to a 2/2, but even a well-managed (85%+ occupancy) 600sqft 1/1 with view and close proximity to the beach can hit 57K on the Emerald Coast.

Maxmimum loan amounts for FHA are the same across the nation for the most part except for the high cost areas of the west, east coast, or specialty markets like Aspen, CO Los angeles, New York, NY, and others as they have higher limits for 1-4 unit FHA loans.

Good Evening,I have a few local long-term rentals that I self-manage on the East Coast.

I specialize in STR's along the coast and have had a lot of success with MTR's for medical professionals as well.

I know they're a large wholesaler on the east coast, I'm in Atlanta, GA.

Well, this is a wonderful thread.All I can really contribute with enough experience to be absolutely sure of what I say: if you live on the coasts and your spreadsheet tells you your best passive returns over the long haul are going to be in the Rust Belt in cheap rentals, then your spreadsheet needs to be looked at by someone with a lot more experience in cheap Rust Belt rentals than you have.My own take on the musings here of why everyone wants to quit their job these day and its possible connection to young people and their participation trophies, their possible work-ethic failings, moral turpitude, contemptible world outlook, lack of grit, et hoc genus omne...yeah, I know I don't know squat about all that.
