I would try to explore the DMV market and find a deal here before going out of state.

Recently I've been exploring the option of having professional management take over the selection of tenants and management to free up my time.  

I would explore this option to see if you can have this property cash flow while you ride out the COVID effect.

My mentors back in the day used to do a cash out refi on an investment property with high equity and purchase more so I just started exploring that option but the mortgage broker I’ve used before just told me you can’t do cash out refi on investment property anymore.

Appreciation - The location must be appreciating at or above the inflation rate.Investor friendly - The cost of doing business and local regulations and taxes must favor investors.I will explore each of the three criteria below but first, a comment on selecting properties based on ROI.ROI is Only a Snapshot in TimeIf you anticipate holding the property for many years, what is happening long-term is more important than what is happening today.

I have 7 units in Jacksonville FL zip code 32254.There are areas where things are rough and areas where it is okay.It is really hard to determine if $57,000 is a good price or if you are overpaying.If you never been to Jacksonville, I would suggest spending $500 on a round-trip flight and hotel for 3-4 days to explore the city.

I can but then the other room would be super small and awkward, but something we are exploring for sure. 

I also enjoy nature, exploring, international travel and working in foreign exchange .

I am leaning towards exploring this option.

Have you wanted to explore off market deals but have zero clue where to start?
