Does anyone have an suggestion for locations to purchase homes/condo that are inexpensive and have strong rental potential.

I always suggest finding an investor friendly real estate agent as they can be your gateway to all other connections!

As Nathan suggested, I'll learn a lot more as I go, but what currently resonates with me is minimizing tenants rather than maximizing RoI.Tim and @Adam Tafel, I will be reaching out to you.Thanks again!

If you can house hack a duplex / triplex / quad locally, I highly suggest it.

Perhaps you can barter that for experience and, perhaps, a taste of the profits and then, later when you're capitalized, do what you're suggesting but now with experience and skin in the game.

All calculations suggest great investment for 4 bed 3 bath in good school zone, however once the tax estimator goes from $2200 to $9500 due to lose of tax credit from not being a primary residence it hard to see how to get property in SC.

For more suggestions, try a google search.BatchSkipTracing

If you can qualify for a Full Doc income loan and do not need DSCR I would suggest trying to get a traditonal approval to avoid the higher rates. 

But for anyone who just has rental properties that they report on a 1040 tax return (not in a partnership), I would suggest considering rental property management software rather than general accounting software.  

I had a couple of people suggest to me to sell my appreciating Bay Area SFH so I could acquire more "doors" and theoretically "cash flow" more with OOS properties.
