If successful, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are likely to follow suit.

I watched the news this morning and it was reported the New York City now has over 13,000+ vacancies.

The tourism market of Nashville is driven mostly by music and bars.

Just keep in mind if it is in a really bad area and there are bars on the window FHA will make you remove them.  

After years of webinars, podcasts, and reading every BP book I've finally got my first deal and need a 203K Loan Contractor.
The house is located in Yonkers - Any suggestions? 

awwww...no appreciation in 2019 for LA homes...https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnwake/2020/12/31/no-house-price-appreciation-in-new-york-los-angeles-chicago-or-san-francisco/#cffec8f1af84If you invested in L.A. with the 100k down strategy in 2019.... there goes that whole year of profit.  

Some bars and restaurants that rely on tourists won’t come back.Like the rest of you I have had low vacancy the last 9 years.

Nicholas (B-) Arlington(C+) Near JU and North Arlington has some very nice neighborhoodsSpringfield (C+) Just so close you could hit a pitching wedge from your front door and be in a terrible neighborhood with gunshots and sirens all the time (I work in and around here)Argyle Forest (B-)Cedar Hills (C+) Some nice homes and I think if more desirable commercial $ comes in it could be a really nice area.Oretga (A)A lot of money is east of the river, in my opinion, more desirable areas- especially for under 40 crowds, more bars, restaurants, more places for families to hang out, just more (newer &nicer) commercial which brings more people in making it more desirable!

Especially in tenant friendly New York.
