REI Nation manages 7,964 single-family rental homes in 13 U.S. markets, including Memphis, Dallas, Houston, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, and Birmingham. 

In terms of a new construction loan, there are a lot of national lenders that will do the loan. 

Also, at a much lower cost than many of the national "guru" courses.

As a holding co in WY used only to move money no service is actually provided in either state related to this business, I was trying to set my business bank account in FL my home state and my "national bank" will not allow.

My family owns REI Nation, and we operate in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and 8 other cities across the Southeast.

There are many areas with high cash flow that experience little to no appreciation, and others that may cash flow a couple hundred per month that have potential of appreciation, though the values of those homes are well below national average. 

Good news is that we have one signed LOI already and negotiating on another one - a major national chain.

I live in MD and hope the lender is national.

@Jordan D'Silva very difficult to anticipate/predict changes in national and local economies, politics, etc.Detroit has been on a 10 year run, that just seems to be getting better & better overall - but, there have been multiple potholes in the journey and there will be more.

In the DC area we deal with a lot of foreign nationals that work at the embassies and consulates.
