Thank you  Whether you can evict is very regional.

And there are folks who are experts in a region (like your back yard). 

Cash flow varies in region depending on events.

Hi @Dustin Pendel, I highly recommend connecting more with @Matt Payne regarding markets and neighborhoods here.I live inside Asheville city limits, and have a furnished monthly rental inside city limits, as well as another STR elsewhere in the region.

Unfortunately the bank was regional and is not able to work with me in CT.

The stigma against Sec 8 is a barrier for those programs and many regions are happy to educate landlords and help them get into the process. 

Also happy to hear recommendations for regional or national lenders as well!

@Joanne Velez regional banks or credit unions.In my experience, I bought in my personal name, Refi to a new lender with a commercial loan, then got a line of credit from same bank.Usually they want you to have a checking account with them too.

We're long time UVA CU customers and love its regional/local base.

We are looking into getting into mid-term rentals and fix & flips next, along with most likely house hacking a duplex in the next year or so, preferably in the Los Angeles or Orange County region since that is the market I am most familiar with.
