This tends to be more time intensive and more for someone that has a lot of time and limited income as you may find a "home run" type deal with some effort/energy.

I'm in Steubenville, Ohio a small town with limited resources.

They usually sell for a really attractive price because investment property financing is (obviously) difficult, somewhat limiting the buyer pool to owner-operator small business owners (who in turn are typically great clients, as well).  

Best decision I've ever made. 4-6% average annual appreciation rate, stable job growth, population growth, drivable to the Bay Area, close to Lake Tahoe, no state income tax, 4th lowest property taxes in the Nation, much more landlord friendly than CA, land constrained meaning limited supply, etc. 

Base the amount of podcast I watched, I know it's very possible but with limited finance, it seems out of my reach.

I suggest your next lease have such a clause and that you make sure you can find the lease (but i have also somehow lost a lease recently).For where you are now, without a signed copy of lease i believe your options are limited.  

This could limit reinvestment potential.

You’ll want to get loans from local banks and credit unions but you may run into issues with more limited features.

This could be a good option if you have limited funds available.

In my limited thinking as a note investor, I’m not sure why that would be happening.Here’s why I say that.
