As a fringe market of the Seattle metro, we saw rental rates drop and we had one of the two renters lose their income source which triggered a string of negative financial events.

I came in on the fringes of a Ponzi scheme he cooked up to defraud Israeli investors here in Pittsburgh.

I'm surprised your lender doesn't want debt coverage ratio in your Pro-forma.If I had to guess I'd say your ARV is too high considering you're probably in a fringe neighborhood.

There are many campgrounds on the fringe of Big Sky that I utilized to base as my home.

If you need to be on the cheaper side, try Lakeshore (32210) as close to the river as possible or the cheaper fringes of 32246.

IMO you’ve missed the boat on really good deals in OTR- not that you can’t find them, but they’re likely in need of hundreds of thousands of $ or on the fringe of OTR and downtown in areas near D neighborhoods— these are probably 10-20 years from gentrification. 

Perhaps you go with the longer drive (an listen to BP Podcasts on the drive) to get your first deal and make it work for a year or two.I think some of the best deals are on the fringes.

I think another fringe thing would be clogged drains.
