But EVERYONE is obsessed with Ohio right now and from the folks I talk to (12+/week) margins have really gotten squeezed there.Detroit still offers fantastic cash flow and is grossly overlooked in terms of potential upside.

I'm curious to know: What key factors do you prioritize when analyzing a potential real estate investment deal?

Going to be tough to find a cash out at 80% and if you do I would be cautious about additional/potential hidden fees.

A DSCR loan is more based on the asset's revenue potential, not your personal qualification, so if a vacation rental/Airbnb property can make money, you might qualify.But even if you could get a DSCR loan, I'd question whether you should get a DSCR loan. 

Another thing to check when running your numbers is the POTENTIAL taxes on the property.

Additionally, the increase in monthly income may not outweigh the potential risks associated with taking on more debt.One potential strategy to consider is to focus on maximizing the income potential of your current properties by increasing rents and potentially leveraging any potential increases in property values.
