There are opportunities around but in a market like we are in now you need to make sure all the numbers work.  

This is not much different than any investor who retires using real estate except that markets and life are not that linear.

Poor condition or bad location and therefore not marketable to quality and respectful tenants?

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

Also, connect with other like-minded people in your community and attend as many in person (and online) meetings at your local REIA groups to network and connect + find out about off market deals and get on local wholesalers "buyers lists".Best of luck!

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

A frank, hopefully insightful, dive into real estate and financial markets.
