I look every day for off market houses to flip.

@Mark Towey I don't "farm" areas personally, it doesn't really fit the niche I'm personally going after, but what I have heard from some major agents in my market lately is that farming is not near as productive as it used to. 

My credit should be the highest allowable also and I shouldn't have problems with approval.Ok, i shopped about 80 lenders (based on Fridays rates, market is closed so no live pricing)Conventional Full Doc loan you would be at 7.875% if you put 20% down (you said what the house was worth, but not your purchase price). 

Is the Hanover market something that anyone knows much about regarding its future economic growth in relation to the rest of this central PA area.

I don't know if shifting to MTR could generate greater interest but it doesn't solve the marketability issue and all you are doing is punting the root issue down the road. 

San Antonio is a hot market still for flipping.

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

Older homes that aren’t elevated could suffer major damage when the next storm hits.Many expect market saturation in the coming months, as flippers are snapping up flood-damaged properties.

Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.
