Things to maybe look for I've learned could be:  household income, median home price, job growth, industries, school/education ranking, percentage of renters in area, unemployment rates etc. 

Would you pay more than the “average” investor for a 2015 build because you loathe the idea of cap-ex?

Professional background:Graduated college in 2010 spent 5 years in the management consulting industry at Accenture in DC area and I’ve been working for a healthcare startup since 2015 here in Dallas.

Being that you work in the area makes it a no brainer that you should also invest in the area.The great thing about real estate is that the industry is very creative and many investors got rich using different strategies. 

You seem like you're doing better than the average person, so why get the same product that an average person would get?

Though I'm starting out in this world, I can see, and have seen through others in the industry, your frustration with commercial brokers.

Even though I am new to this industry if I can help in any kind of way please do not hesitate to connect with me. 

I wouldn't advise someone in Real Estate to milk applications because even if the pulls combine, the underwriters will still see the number of new accounts, and the AAOA (average age of accounts) will decrease significantly with the number of new accounts being established.

It's a numbers game, though, so expect a 1% call rate, which is around the industry standard.

You can then show experience in the REI industry since you both have investment properties, and have existing mature assets in the LLC.
