Another thought I had was that after focusing on a few houses in markets that have historically had good equity potential, we could also build a portfolio with homes that have a primary focus on cash flow and get some monthly residual income coming in as well.

If you own one free and clear, and it cash flows well, you could even potentially obtain a LOC against the investment property, but LOCs on Investment properties are harder to come by, and usually are offered at local or regional banks and credit unions << These same sources often times do NOT also offer the DSCR, but look more at the traditional DTI route.

But you're aware of a potential hazard, the buzzing, in fact this is to be fixed asap.

A market where the potential is not just in growth of mid-term rental demand, but also appreciation based on historical trends and forecasted supporting employment.

Hey @Mike Griffin, here are some ideas: -Potentially higher sales price because they are flexible on terms-Faster sale-Residual monthly income that can act as an income stream in retirement At 5% interest amortized over 30 years, the seller would make $90k in interest just in the first year.

This 1 metric alone will help guide many in finding potentials, look at reproduction cost's than market price properties are trading at.

A good commercial broker will already know that segment of the market, potential areas to consider and avoid, can pull you any report needed for traffic flow, densities, distances to major employers, ports, logistics scores, etc.

Also, since you are considering moving (that is so great have this flexibility with your job), I would make sure that you like the areas you are potentially moving to and keeping the weather as a consideration.
