I don't buy the national stats or statewide stats either.Yuo have to drill down to your local market.You cannot compare Beverly Hills to Compton or Reseda, or OK City.

If you have a HELOC or 401K it will help..I like the Florida market and explored some cities in FL when deciding to invest out of state, Florida you need to pay close attention to Insurance prices depending where in FL you invest can be a major expense..I love the coast and beaches but I wouldn’t invest next to the coast especially being Out of State.

I'm looking to expand into more desirable markets, preferably Rogers/Bentonville/Fayettville or Kansas City Metro.

Welcome to the city. 

If there are drug dealers and prostitutes they're doing a damn good job at hiding it.Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of discrepancy with the city appraised valuation.

@Shaun R.Your lease should also include references to your county and city ordinances not just your HOA.I love dogs too but I was force to give a tenant a 30 day fix or evict.

Sounds like you've found yourself a great deal, and it's right on the outskirts of the city!

Having lived in Seattle from 2010-2016, it was crazy to watch the city rage firsthand when our dreams as back-to-back SB champs were dashed on the one. 

Charlotte is a big city, rent to price ratios are generally less lucrative in cities and moreso in rural areas.The profitability rules for real estate don't work everywhere.
