I'm born and raised in Iowa (actually a suburb of Des Moines), I now live 2 hours away in Cedar Rapids, because I like this market better.  

in cash flow would cut it for me. i'd want enough to cover the mtg, but also R&M and a little for vacancy. if i can't do that plus have a little actual "cash flow" left over.... i'm still here :) if that's any indication. 

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!

Depends on the actual deal I have seen 85/15 rarely 90/10 but keep in mind your primary home will have a second lien on it typically if your LTV is over 75%. 

Using a relative or friends address to claim you live there when you actually don't is committing fraud. 

So this would actually work against the intended purpose. 

But make sure it is actually illegal and not just your opinion. 

You'll find that rental property investing isn't scary at all and a great property manager can actually save you more money than they will cost!

Quote from @Chris Brewer: They’re actually asking more for the property that’s just the number I think I can buy it for.

Proximity to Disney is another competitive advantage.As property managers, we see what’s actually booking in all the resorts near Disney - the good, the bad and the ugly.
