With my focus shifted, I'm trying to find cities/towns that fit certain criteria. 1. high growth and appreciation2. max spend of around 200k3. low, or at least u.s. average, property taxesI'm looking for turnkey but prefer not to buy someone's flipI've seen cities like Boise, Chattanooga, Jacksonville thrown around but I'd like to know if there are any specific neighborhoods within cities that I should be looking at. 

.- non of these methods are required if you are just trying to shift income to them. - Not sure how old your kids are. 

Every March we will review possible updates with the current tenant.Start using Rentredi to streamline payments, maintenance and communication.NotesSome of our Tenants are HUD and will have to coordinate increase with them.Neighborhood most of the homes are a lower middle class neighborhood in the middle of town. 

I have been seeing those rates jump up as well and has got me wondering if there is some kind of equilibrium point where the rate reaches a point that shifts the market.

So, for context, I've used my VA loan for 3 different purchases, put renters in after PCS orders, and done several streamline refinances with the VA.Streamline refinance with a VA loan comes with a VA funding fee, which will really eat into your numbers - if your LTV is >95%, your going to pay 3.65% on the funding fee.

I was originally all in on cash flow, but have somewhat shifted recently into building liquid capital. 

What if the real gold is not lost but has only shifted?

Lot of different ways to streamline this process.

So for the market as a whole to shift down following those sales takes another 12 months, and that assumes a large inventory comes to market combined with the stagnant sales price.Assuming your refi takes a full 6 months to close you're realistically looking at most a 5% drop in that time frame...at MOST.

You could still utilize a low downpayment solution like a house hack owner occupied loan, but you would not need to move from your current house you like and totally shift you and your family's lifestyle.
