Hi Frank, I live and invest in the Palm Springs area.

the wholesale groups on facebook are a great place to start looking for deals .

Those markets dealing with 10+ caps are usually pretty rough areas and you get needy tenants, higher Vacancy, higher maintenance costs and turnover expenses. 

Just filed so that our team can be fully up and running in the greater Tampa Bay area.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

At least Passaic and even Hackensack (bit more $ than Passaic but still a few class C areas left) are not as tenant friendly as compared to Essex county.

He knows a ton about the area.

Depends on markets of course, so if you are a HCOL area with high list prices, this may be out of reach even with 100k+ to put down (while you can get away with less, this may create a problem with too high of a PMI and overall mortgage payment). 

Cash flow is solid, tenants just signed on for a second year after I increased rent 100 a month.I'm looking to use this as a platform for more investments but am having trouble figuring out how to finance other deals in the area.
