But my closest property is a 6 hour round trip drive.

Good steaks and Wyoming cooking. 

BUT, they also denied due to the property being '"too rural".Corevest: they offer a 12 month bridge loan which is the closest thing i've found to working. after that time i'd need to refi into something else. the rates are 6-7% which does still mean the numbers make sense. i'm considering this option..I have not pursued conventional loans because my partner and I would like to keep this property vested under our entity.

If you’re leaning towards Orlando I would investigate Cocoa Beach, the closest beach to Disney.  

From the ones you have chosen, I would pick the community that is closest to a city or where everyone is working. 

Below is an expanded criteria of what I am looking for in terms of suburb:>> Long term buy and hold (investment)>> $200-260K>> Return of 6%+ ROI rent (annual rent divided by property purchase price) - if this is achievable whatever suburb comes closest >> Stable capital gain>> Low crime>> Low vacancy rateI am going to be in Denver from 11th to the 15th November - I'd be interested in checking out some available stock in that period if you have something that meets the criteria?

These are nice areas and probably difficult to cash flow, but which do you think it's most possible to get deals that come closest, surprise, queen creek?

Find the REIA closest to you, there will be some tire kickers and some opportunists, but a lot of us are more than willing to have a chat with you.

I guess the closest thing is Loopnet.  

I think the closest spot near me that you cover would be Indianapolis.
