What role do I want to play?

In my area on-market there are some SFH with good investment potential but they require rehab, which is a more sophisticated play than what investors usually want to mess with for the SFH space. 

Can I play it simple and get approved by rocket mortgage and get right to shopping?

When (insert type of income-producing real estate here) becomes more popular, buyers are willing to pay more, which means cap rates go down.There are three primary forces at play here.  1) falling interest rates make debt cheaper and makes real estate more attractive.  2) rent growth gives buyers hope that the income stream they are purchasing will grow over time.  3) poor performance or perceived risk of other investment vehicles increase the desirability of income real estate, meaning a lower cost of equity capital for real estate buyers.Expanding on point #3, the worse other investment vehicles perform, the less investors demand from their real estate investments.  

Not saying...would prefer to keep the competition to a minimum :-)But there are areas that are not that large that have lots of varying reasons for people to want to go visit/work/play/get away.....They almost have to be found by happenstance....Most people look at the obvious areas.

Janet Yellen announced this week she is out of cards to play when she spoke with congress about raising the debt ceiling. 

I recently learned that a contractor I play ball with has helped all three of his daughters buy houses at 18-19 years old, helping them to secure a good deal on a house needing work, at a price they could afford.

Just to give you a taste we discovered that our last Prez stole $24k from the reserve to gamble.

For the deposit your location may play a role but where I live there is no limit to the deposit you can take outside of the market.
