There are a lot of good deals on 2-4 units right now but one thing I would avoid is the few townhomes and Condos that have high HOA fees.

Olu,  you need to be careful.  83K per unit seems kind of high for the age of the building.  

I can't speak on behalf of Detroit, but in Atlanta, the flipping business is highly competitive.

Welcome Brandon - I have properties here in the wyoming valley.I am a native to the area.Scranton has many hoops to jump as an investor - esp. an out of the area investor.One is you'd have to hire a property manager if you do not live in the city of Scranton or within 20 miles of the city.Real estate taxes are high -that plus the current interest rate and ask prices makes cash flow an issue.You can find "deals" but please do your due diligence.Here is an example of a potential deal I am evaluating in the hill section of the city: 20 y/o, 2000 sq ft. 3b/3bath TH - Needs paint, new carpeting, and general wear and tear repairs after a 4 year tenant.

Orlando is a tough market, I think it would be very difficult to show any return at all right now with the high rates.

The rate would be in the mid to high 8’s.

I know debt to ratio is a little high, but even when credit cards are paid off we still can't seem to get approved.. 

I would say, you may be able to get lower rates than mid 8s as my lenders are high 7s for a similar scenario but you may be tripping over dimes to save nickels. 

I am in the pacific northwest and prices here are high compared to some of the investing hotspots around the country. 

If you're looking for a market that has landlord friendly laws and high growth potential, I would go with Columbus, OH.
