With the Midwest still harboring great cap rates compared to the East & West Coasts, its exciting to offer a place where we can to help so many buyers secure "out of market" financing for investment and commercial properties.

Given that it is administered locally, it's totally worth comparing landlord acceptance rates across cities to study why and where it is and isn't accepted. 

ARV will be determined by looking at comparable sales in the area.

@Jake WalrothInteresting, my past experiences have been somewhat flip flopped compared to yours.

I don't want to buy in CA right  now because the house prices are very high compared to rental income and the laws are biased against landlords. 

Where can I get reliable data? 

Decide what is most important to you, use the metrics accordingly, compare those to other available properties, and then make a decision.On this particular property, I wouldn't call it a home run by any stretch.

I believe it was mainly just a prorated portion of the wastewater charge compared to my normal usage, so not a ton, but definitely nice to get back.

Everything is pretty cheap here compared to Seattle.

Compare notes and do what you can to find sold prices near by ie comps for arvs but basically keep looking at deals until you know a good deal when you see it
