That is just about the only areas I would look at, and even then you need to be picky.

Hi, I’ve been researching and contemplating on which area of real estate I should invest in.

Here are the Top 10 Areas with Fastest 12-month Multi Family Rent Growth according to NAR:Lancaster, PA - 6.74%Evansville, IN - 5.52%Springfield, MA - 5.34%Louisville, KY - 4.95%Syracuse, NY - 4.92%Youngstown, OH - 4.85%Rockford, IL - 4.40%Providence RI - 4.28%Reading, PA - 4.26%Dayton, OH - 4.21%

Not many fire bans in the area, certainly not in winter.  

My wife and I are going  to look at one of those properties this week but don't know exactly how we should calculate the properties value as its unique to the area so there are no comps.

So there - I don't think helocs are a long term solution, but until we get to the point that rates are sufficiently low, we can use them to get equity from homes and continue to grow our portfolio.

Im in CA but property is in OK.They are a thing, but only for bridge/rehab loans. 30-year fixed DSCR loans will require a full Fannie Mae Form 1004 report.Hypothetical:• On the 800k property.

If you go through a bank or traditional lender, they will report your mortgage, but at this point the DSCR rates are as good or better than the traditional mortgage rates, and the LTV are the same.   

They are a great way to meet other local investors and learn about market trends.

This could be huge, or something like the ADU legislation that came out in 2017 and then revamping in 2020 due to convoluted items that made the building very strict to almost nonexistent.The main reason ADUs are hard to get the best value for now is that the appraisals come in short (depending on the comps in the area of course).
