I have some experience investing in my local market but I am new to the US real estate market and am focusing on investments that offer a strong ROI.I am considering various types of properties and I am particularly interested in mid-low priced properties.

@Chris Harwood, You will need to purchase real estate with your 1031. 

I'm Doug from Brooklyn, NY, passionate about real estate investing for a few years now.

Can I get some advice on military friendly lenders with low down payment for purchasing rental property without using the VA loan or in general, how to navigate this to start my rental property real estate journey?

This collaboration highlights the importance of strong partnerships and local market knowledge in successfully identifying and negotiating lucrative real estate deals.

Find a lender who understands your long term real estate goals and understands that rental income can help knock down your DTI to qualify for more loans and acquire more properties. 

They are the lifeblood of your property, like all investment real estate.  

But I think you answered my questionHaving been in real estate for almost 30 years.

Another out-of-town real estate enthusiast, using local comparables, estimated an After Repair Value (ARV) of $40,000 with high confidence.
