Collecting cash is something I’d almost like to completely refuse to do (not sure the legality of that one).

@Darian Richardson...the money you're looking for is out there, but it's lender specific and not many DSCR lenders offer it.

I specifically like Detroit and own 12-doors there myself.If you can take on some negative cash flow or if you aren't looking to go max leverage on it, I'd recommend staying as close to home as possible.

This has me wondering that perhaps it isn't always about the specific city you choose but more so the experience you build, market, and sell.
