I firmly believe there's always opportunity wherever we are, we just may not always recognize it.With that being said, yes there are certain markets that have great growth metrics and are widely known as some of the top investing markets but ultimately you need to decide on a market and location that makes the most sense to you.As of right now I've only invested in Arizona.

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See DSCR ratio example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350Insurance = $100Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250Insurance = $100Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23Lender terms and fees vary widely.
