Low property taxes (1.1%) and not a lot natural disasters as well.

Currently living in our home and plan on renting to keep low interest rate while we house hack a duplex to start our investing in real estate.  

However, the rental value this area is very low compared to the Home values and mortgage rate.

All original tenants were long term low rent tenants.

I am based in Seattle, but is licensed in Tx.You can acquire your a primary residence from up to 1-4 units for as low as 5% with conventional or 3.5% with FHA with a few exceptions.

@Jaycee Greene Yeah it is easy for one to get discouraged when buying this type of project but I must say they are decent when trying to start low and build capital, that way you dont have to deal with **** properties or mediocre neighborhoods again. 

This cannot get passed through until the commissioners review and choose to vote on the bill. 

So if you discount a small amount to get rolling, that is something that can work, but don't want to stay low for long.You will start to get the dregs staying at your place and they can do some real damage to the place.

Low cost + high rent/value ratio.My market of Middle TN doesn't have any livable property for that price and the 1% rule isn't very realistic. 

Findlay is a real oppotunity beause you’ve got a combination of stable job sources, a decent population size, and often lower acquisition costs compared to bigger metros.About choosing an agent..
