Areas like Downtown, Summerville, and West Augusta are particularly desirable due to their proximity to amenities, universities, and employment centers.In terms of your preferred strategies, it would be helpful to know what type of lending you plan to use.

I am interested in getting an FHA loan for my first real estate investment property but do not want to MIP loan term.

If you don't want this loan I will take it, those are great terms right now. 

Give them all the details, contact information, time lines, relationships, etc.  

We want to see equity, seasoning, a quality borrower, and good terms. 

For instance, mismatched names, employment details, or salary figures should warrant further scrutiny.Urgency to Move In: Applicants who are unusually pushy about quick move-in dates may be attempting to bypass thorough checks.Reluctance to Provide References: Hesitation or refusal to provide contactable references from previous landlords or employers is a cause for concern.Cash Offers for Faster Move-In: Proposals to pay a significant amount up front, especially in cash, to expedite the moving process can sometimes indicate an attempt to avoid scrutiny.Unverifiable Identity: Difficulty in verifying the applicant’s identity through standard identification documents can indicate potential fraud.Tips to Mitigate Rental Application Fraud:Enhance Verification Processes: Implement stringent verification processes for employment, previous rental history, and identity.

I'm sure the one Chase will send you is thorough, detailed and will do the trick.I purchased @Michael Blank's Syndicated Deal Analyzer however, and I do enjoy using the tool. 

OK... thank you for the detailed response.

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

I have STR, MTR, and Long term rentals.
