I have always been fascinated with Peoria, though I’m not sure how investor friendly Illinois is.

Quote from @Todd Fullerlove: Howdy BP friends,I just relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee, Tennessee.

And CA is extremely tenant friendly so it's not a great place for a rental. 

High LTV purchased at retail (off mls) has large initial negative cash flow- regulations are tenant friendly.  

A friend of mine picked up a duplex there last year for under $150K, added some sweat equity, and turned it into a cash cow.Chattanooga, TN: This market has been quietly making waves.

Once you have a good understanding of what you can afford, reach out to your landlord in a friendly and casual way.

Shortly, after joining I was able to help a friend that was in sticky situation with his home and also helped another family with theirs.

Our sincerest condolences to all of those impacted, we have dozens of friends and colleagues that have directly or indirectly lost everything and several have evacuated for reprieve to our communities both north and south of the border. 

I recently helped a friend who was in a similar position - looking to tap into equity for a rental property purchase in Phoenix.
