If it were me I'd be looking at taking advantage of a low down payment owner occupied loan and getting a house hack going in that market. 

Hey @Sofia Sharkey, sounds like @Justin Morgan has got the low down on the area!

Usually we submit LOI's at the low end, subject to being raised once we have all the necessary financials.

I plan on requesting the following quarter report if I offer.Average Monthly Expenses per triplex (maintenance/insurance/repairs/utilities/property taxes/vacancy):$730.50Estimated mortgage: $1,132I plan of offering $200,000 - $205,000 due to two of the rooms not being renovated, roof needing work, and after being posted for going on 3+ months.

Rising interest rates have hurt everyone’s buying power (except cash buyers obviously), and inventory is locked up because nobody wants to move and give up their historically-low interest rate.

Ensure they use a wide lens and have the low, mid and high angle shots taken.3.

The tricky one is the rent to income ratio and how it is related to the median family income.I did note that at lease one other poster was advised to always use the low barrier screening criteria to avoid potential lawsuits. 

Eventually I will invest in cash flowing properties out of state.I'm looking for tips and advice on being a land lord such as maintenance, rent collection, taxes/accounting, legal, and things you wish you would/wouldn't have done starting out.

If you are at a net positive with that low rate it could be worth keeping.
