You do have a number of rating factors working against you: proximity to coast, age of dwelling, STR use (limits the # of available markets).

Rich,All RESIDENTAL dwellings are depreciated over 27.5 years, even the 100+ unit apartment complex.The buildings that house your business, your warehouse, your shopping center, and your manufacturing plant are all examples of commerical use real estate and depreciated over 39 years

If the dwelling has no mailbox and has a keyless bolting device, alarm system, or dangerous animal that prevents the landlord from entering the premises to leave the notice to vacate on the inside of the main entry door, the landlord may securely affix the notice on the outside of the main entry door.As for doing this online, I would also like to know too.

In my multi-dwellings I would not rent to a registered sex offender.

The good news is that you don't have to live in the dwelling longer than 12 months and you can keep the loan going.

Hello @Malcolm Jackson An sfr is a Single Family Residential dwelling, in other words a house as opposed to a plex (2-4 units) or a multifamily property (5+ units).

I also don't have our guys go into a dwelling without at least a witness with them when there is only one female in there.

I have been looking into tax sales and find many vacant lots, a few with a dwelling on it.  

Both dwelling and flood.

I like your idea @Anya K. http://inhabitat.com/nyc/bloomberg-announces-winners-of-the-adapt-nyc-competition-to-develop-micro-unit-dwellings/8405929666_396a27c748_c/?
