The nerves tend to go away once your in the conversation for a few minutes and treat the person as someone you want to get to know.

If you want to bump those rents up, you can try a furnished medium-term rental, but depending on the specific area, that might be tougher only because traveling nurses and remote workers tend to want to stay in areas that are a little further along.

Any input or referrals would be appreciated. 

I reached out to all types of lenders that I know and ask for referrals from various investor groups but despite showing some really good numbers, we were denied by most of them.

They tend to look fir “turn key”, ready to go.

@Frank Rodrigues: I own a duplex in Dana Point, but if I went out of state, the most important piece would be cash-flow and property management since CA tends to appreciate well (50 year average is 7.3%), but doesn't have the same cash flow at all that other states can provide.

Thanks for the referral David!

We are in compressed cap rates in the current market, so 1% rule is harder to come by esp in the a/b class markets that tend to have higher appreciation potential.The city likely has higher cash flow, but investing there is not for everyone.
