They’re often more willing to work with you on aggressive timelines, especially once you show a few wins.

It also depends on your goals and how safe/aggressive you want to be, how much you want it to earn, and what meshes best with your lifestyle. 

Quote from @Carl Rowles: Aside from the stigma of them, it seems like they’d be a decent entry point for new home owners, given the housing market the way it is.

Using 30% to 40% is aggressive enough to win an offer especially if you can close less than 30 days.

The demographics and map data don't take the students into account, but they're really what's driving the market.Low property values and ever-increasing student rents are a recipe for a market when you can pick up a duplex in decent condition for $150k, and rent it for $500/bed (that's an EGI of $36,000 annually for a 3/3 duplex).

They were receiving decent funds then a bunch of properties ended up vacant and one of the big money backers pulled his money and now its a cluster mess.

Small banks and credit unions focused on farm/agriculture tend to be the most aggressive with land/lot loans.

My strategy has been to grow aggressively (by using as little of my own money as possible) to secure good assets, and once stabilized, then work to pay down loans to own them free and clear sooner rather than later.
