Plymouth is an amazing spot to own a rental but making the numbers work is challenging at current prices.

* What are some factors to consider when identifying these hot spots?

Being clear about what you want to do from the start not only helps you stay on track, but it also makes it easier to spot problems or delays before they happen.I totally agree that talking to people is important.

Keep in mind, though, that each lender has their own criteria for how much future potential they’ll factor in, so it might come down to some skillful negotiation and presenting detailed projections that don’t feel like puffery.Just be careful not to come off as overly speculative…lenders tendd to shy away from what sounds too good to be true.Anyway, I’m curious.. have you spotted any other investors in Gainesville facing a similar refinance puzzle and what kind of terms were they able to secure? 

I know I talked a lot but I'm geniunely looking for any advice or blind spots in my strategy.

You’re in an great spot to get started—good luck!

Jamie and Allen are spot on, as usual. :)I would add "Is there an ideal avatar that you are looking to serve" to the mix. 

Collin and Michael above are spot on.
