I have the urge for multi family housing and long term cash flow but something about the other aspects of flipping and wholesaling also catch my interest as well. 

——- I could see it happening in Philadelphia, where the new progressive city council has their eyes on housing and tenants rights.

Keep an eye out for exit points as you come closer to the savings target.

Knowing the area, I knew where I wanted to invest and kept my eye open for the right opportunity.

For the rates as low as they are even his prices creep up people are able to catch flow.

But how, they provide business and feed a lot of the local families who contribute even further to the local economy.Not many folks run their rentals from out of state, majority leave near by and they rent out their secondary homes, manage them selves.Certain percentage even moves in campers on the property or out to campgrounds for the simple reasons to make it trough and get more income.Just laying points of view.Living in a seasonal tourist town near national park is a challenge on its own...To begin with house prices have never been cheap...Curently your "starter homes" are in the 300k range and in my eyes a lot of them are full gut remodels....I can't say when was the last time numbers for LTR made sence around here...

From a lenders eyes the first thing I would make sure you are doing is figuring out where your current DTI is and making sure there is room to add additional mortgages with or without renters in that property.  

Nonetheless I will keep an eye out and perhaps get in touch with a local realtor to sign up for some form of mailing list for those rare opportunities!

Reason #1 it would give you monthly eyes in your property rental. #2 I think it would help lower the repair cost for a turn over. #3 If the tenant moves out without cleaning the property it shouldn't be that bad.

And bear in mind that a lot of home inspectors aren't going to catch everything anyway.
