You aren't going to get the best options posting that here.

I understand there is crime there, just like many low-cost areas, but I reached out to a rehabber about taking some photos of properties for us and he told me to look in other areas because of the high crime rate and that "it just keeps getting worse." 

My investment strategy focuses on long-term, low-maintenance SFRs in high-demand areas, aiming for cash flow rates above 7%.The market dynamics can vary significantly from state to state, and even from block to block within a city. 

So there's no blanket prediction for the US as a whole except that if rates stay higher long enough to work through all of the 2.5 mortgages, housing may come down somewhat because it's virtually frozen right now. 

In order to be in the upper echelon of available listings, or reach occupancy and rates above the average Joe, your listing needs to reign supreme.

Like any platform they have advantages and disadvantages.Advantages:1) transparency: they publish the full results of their loan book, making them only the third side in the industry to do this. 2) underwriting: they have a 1.8% uncured default rate, which is good and is much lower than some of the other competing platforms and hard money loan alternatives (although not all).

I only know of one local bank who will, and with them, it's a commercial line of credit floating at Prime + 2.5% (11% is the indexed rate) and it has to be renewed every 2 years, including a 24hr rest. 

You have to analyze the market you are in and see what the best path to profitability is.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

Also interest rate has gone slightly down but I am getting an 8.8 % interest rate with credit score of 734.
