Easier to find, maybe, with less competition for them.

Example is if I am at 80% LTV on asset I may be at 1.35% DCR but to go to 85% or 100% LTV if permitting, I would personally need a much higher DCR depending on risk as viewed from a market and property level, as an example I would atleast 1.50%-1.75% DCR.Some people may look at it like the above with Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) on the individual property level or they may look at it from DCR as global cash flow perspective with all personal income, business income, properties, notes, and other investment cash flows or cash flow activities net at the end of the day and stress test that to make sure the debt provides enough mental, emotional, and financial safety for the given increment of additional risk by borrowing X dollars.I would love to hear other views on how debt is managed or how debt preferences are formulated.

@Bill Coleman you could compare the features in other rental/retail sale homes on the same street or neighborhood to get an idea of the competition...

Miami is the 2nd fastest growing metro in the country right now - (behind Dallas), so unfortunately, it just comes down to being a highly competitive environment out there right now - as I'm @Andy Collins can attest to.

I do plan on investing in Canada and possibly branch out to the US in the future as the market is more competitive and the ROI is higher (as far as I know).

I'm trying to get houses under contract to flip, but I'm having trouble because it's so competitive here.

Although I'm still learning the ropes when it comes to wholesaling, it would seem to me that this could serve as direct competition to wholesalers.

If a LOT of people complain, ask for feedback on your competition.

Pricing it competitively or doing something to make it stand out from the competition will keep it rented to quality tenants.

King county is pretty competitive.
