But if a pure investment property, I haven't heard of being able to do 10% down from a regular Fannie Mae lender.  

The only downside profession, I see is if your a pure "Financial" investor.

I personally like Maumelle, maybe the best description for me there would be “pure suburb”.  

Most buyers in our market do not purchase for pure investment purposes, as better cash flow can be derived in any number of other markets.

I'm guessing those are better for more involved rehabs vs pure cosmetics.Some PMs will simply charge you an hourly rate, and some will charge you a markup, and some will use their internal (paid) employees to do most of the work and charge you for their time.

Looking at pure population growth, I believe Texas is the largest net gain winner for 2021, followed by Florida.

I am currently in our first house hack (eastern NC) and its a base hit ( Duplex/ found on MLS/tenant is paying half/ with repairs we are looking at around 100 PURE cash flow per unit) Seems like you have the drive but now its time to hyper focus on the strategy you'd like to do and execute.

After that the cash flow is pure profit.

Otherwise I wouldn't suggest investing purely for MTR.

Also, do you have to live in the property to get the tax exemption (so purely investment properties wouldn’t qualify)?
