I think those that are out of the market won’t recognize the shifts nearly as quickly as those that are in the market.

It just seems nearly impossible to filter for properties that allow enough of a DSCR to cover things like CapEx, maintenance, and property management costs.

I'd target areas near colleges or transit hubs for affordable properties, and I’d look into financing options like FHA loans or creative financing to make the most of my capital.

is darn near in exhaustible.

For example I am near old town alexandria and the businesses are 200 year old row homes and there is no place to put ramps to get in establishments and door openings are not wide enough, but that is because they also could never comply. 

The effect of this process is that the portfolio is constantly improving by retaining the best properties and jetison the under performers.I've bought and sold over 1,000 properties, and people always ask me "How many doors?" 

Am wanting to add a STR to my portfolio and thought having one near where I live was a better idea than investing out of state.

Install cameras and exterior lighting on timers, place no trespassing signs, and place items that indicate occupancy - like a BIG dog bowl near the front door, shoes, etc.
