So my 5 bedroom new construction on top of the mountain with phenomenal views is lumped in with a 30 yr old 5 bedroom 1/4 mile away in the valley surrounded by trees.  

I would like to get your thoughts on the area you are in and other surrounding areas.

Mainly some horror stories surrounding what you mentioned (not sending payments to a 3rd party, and then the lender activating due-on-sale).I'm definitely interested in DSCR since it I'm also a travel medical worker and have gaps in work history (will have another one in November), which could make traditional financing tricky (proof of employment). 

If you're keen on Raleigh I would recommend expanding your search to some of the surrounding markets.

What market is this property in and what is the population density surrounding it?

Buy and hold rentals will be funded through use of fix and flip capital – 1 for every 5 fix and flips completed.MARKET Our markets for the immediate future will include: Phoenix metro and surrounding areas, Maricopa city, and Casa Grande.

I am located near Martinsville, VA and am interested in buying there and surrounding areas (Danville, Roanoke, Winston Salem, Greensboro, etc).If there is anyone else from the area or surrounding areas that has any contacts or resources as far as realtors, title companies, contractors, lenders, or even wholesalers, please let me know.

Hey @Guillermo Rios - there's always RE meetups happening in NYC & Jersey surrounding areas. 

I don’t care how great the city is, how many companies are moving to it or surrounding areas in Texas, or how much people love it there. 

Hey @Sharath Vyas, I have no info for you but here is some of the crime data.https://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Bradenton-Florida.htmlIncludes surrounding communities.
