Good morning John,I have been here to serve all clientes and always have replied to all emails, calls and texts.

Good analysis.  

You were scared and probably had analysis paralysis, but your post is half acceptance of your own failure and half blaming the market.

This might reduce your overall interest costs and allow you to secure a more attractive rate compared to a traditional 20% down payment scenario.Platforms for State → City → Suburb → Street Analysis:For narrowing down markets, here are some platforms I recommend:Zillow and Realtor.com for broad market data, filtering by city/suburb/street.Roofstock for turnkey rental properties with in-depth neighborhood analysis.Mashvisor for detailed real estate analysis, including cash flow and rental estimates.Redfin and NeighborhoodScout for granular street-level data, crime statistics, school ratings, and property value trends.Once you narrow down to the city level, I agree that leveraging local resources—real estate agents, local investor networks, or property managers—will be key to gaining more granular insights on specific neighborhoods and streets.If you’d like, I can also provide you with a sample DSCR terms sheet to further illustrate potential terms.
