This will depend heavily on what you want to accomplish long term.

FHA buyers CAN win, but they have to overbid heavily and limited a large number of contingencies. 

Under appreciated area is the southwest part of town inside the loop B-class and C-class SFR.I think Lubbock has more long term and equity potential, and we have invested heavily there in the last couple years.

If an area is heavily weighted towards one industry/employer this is risky.

I invest heavily in Pilsen, the numbers are great.  

I have some syndicator friends that used to do multiple deals a year and now to find a great property that actually pencils they might do 1 a year as everything is heavily overpriced.I don't even focus on it anymore and like to work on larger deals where the goal is to take a class A property at a 5.5 to 6 cap and get it to an 8 cap over a 5 year horizon.

Austin's economy is heavily focused on technology, with major employers including Dell, IBM, and Apple.Weather:Atlanta has a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and mild winters.

It was the only time, I had experienced such a thing where my customers were affected so heavily by.

hey teddy....i just did this for a few properties in charlotte, and a 4plex out in dallas off of new hope rd...just over by you..note brokers discount the note pretty heavily i've learned, so it seems that it's better to sell with a balloon so you could cash out after some time..unless you can find buyers in gastonia with great credit, 10-20% down, etc...but that would be tough in that area i think....not sure what part of gastonia you're looking in, but i'm seeing homes there that are listed less than 20 grand in some parts...some even less...what part of gastonia are you looking in??

Some initial ideas that have come to mind are to seek out lenders who may lean less heavily on DSCR (although I am finding this to be a backstop all lenders I have engaged rely on), utilizing more LP equity on new acquisitions, and incurring higher finance charges to originate loans where lower or no pre-payment penalties exist to provide the greatest flexibility to exit any recently originated loans when rates calm.
