Prioritize Safety and SecurityRenters value safe areas.

Later on in your investing journey the safety and low management of expensive, appreciating properties will become appealing.

To leverage the equity for financing my next deal, a second mortgage seems like a more cost-effective option.

look for land with owner financing And I am sure you know this but location and safety will be paramount in the Jackson market there are simply areas the crime is far to high for this to be successful..

Take it with a grain of salt as safety is subjective.You could also ask your Realtor and property manager their thoughts and maybe next time they are in the area to take photos.

This is really what it should be as unsafe units should have to address the safety issues before they can be rented.  

Not only will lenders be effected, but borrower credit, business loans, inventory, and auto credit will suffer when those effected have to relocate, find long term replacement housing and their livelihoods and income are destroyed.

One thing though is that there are requirements coming into effect soon where wholesalers will need to get their license in PA for any properties that they wholesale, so you might want to look into that before it becomes official!  

I'm trying to make it so I'm on the deed/title and not the mortgage.I know the income side would be effected with the dti I was just wanting the debt side not to be.

As the new owner, you’ll want the lease and your landlord insurance policy to take effect as soon as you take title to the property.Temporary Lease Considerations:While short-term leases can work well, leasing to a seller long-term often leads to complications.
