You may be declined for not being an owner occupant, but it will still buy a little more time.

How would i know what is a suitable area to buy in without having the "on the ground" knowledge?

IF no docs and the data a client wants isnt available then you must get it somewhere else.Every website is different and you will have start fresh building a new scraper everytime.Competing against many other types of software doing what you are doing.Competing against upwork/fiver/foreign VAs doing the same thing you are doingIf your presence becomes to big you will bring attention and likely forced into a propstream/propwire/propradar model where you must buy the data from the counties as scraping regs are in a greyzone in most statesWhat hurdles have you hit so far?

Your buy-box would also have to be a lot more narrow.

@Thomas FarrellRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
