Focus on the southeast and Midwest and in about every market worth investing is plenty of potential deals out there.

For at least $1000 monthly rent per apt , what neighborhoods look like in south east PA ? 

Yes most of my deals are in the south east.

It's just South East of Nashville and the population and job growth have been really good over the last couple of years.

I'd think you'd have more luck breaking even on your LA home than on a Midwest or Southeast turnkey.One thing to keep in mind: if you do rent your house, you can sell it anytime in the next three years and still take the capital gains exemption.

If you're looking in Southeast or Southwest DC, vet the HOA's as many are very delinquent which don't allow for financing causing them to basically be apartment building owned by individual investors.4) I would advise looking in an area of Northeast DC that sits up against Northwest DC as that area has better growth potential without the risk associated with SE and SW5) Your Cap number can be smaller if you get a rehabbed condo as items like Dishwasher, Refrigerator, Stove, Washer & Dryer will all be new like the condos I do.

Hi all...I'm looking for recommendations for a real estate agent in the greater Nashville area (preferably Franklin or South/Southeast Greater Nashville) that is also an investor his/herself. 

Once again, caught in the grips of analysis paralysis- I love south East Little Village for appreciation in the next ten years & decent COC in the immediate future (but also dislike it because it’s now expensive to get a turnkey property.

I have used them for most of my Trips to Europe and Southeast Asia along with Hawaii..

@Eric Hempler I share the same view.I'm underwriting deals in the southeast between 40 and 100 units and I consistently see that they work for me at around 60% of the asking price.
