All cities unto themselves, none boring suburbs with similar homes with large yards where everyone drives everywhere. 30-35 year olds make up the largest range of first time homeowners in Greater Boston, many of them are still single or newly married without kids yet, and they still want to be near their friends with active lifestyles.

I plan on applying for one that is below what is recommended for my credit range to minimize risk of getting rejected and needing multiple inquires into my credit. 

I live near Cincinnati, so I'm biased, but I believe Ohio is a great place to buy-and-hold because you can find affordable rentals that cash flow well and Cincinnati and Columbus are economically diverse and stable.

It doesn't appear that the growth in home values in Denver, Colorado Springs or elsewhere along the Front Range is slowing any time soon.

Also I'd say getting with a real estate agent and/or setting custom searches on Redfin/Zillow/etc for multifamily is also a good way to learn what kinds of properties pop up in different areas of town and the price range for them to help you run numbers and plan. 

I manage and supervise most of our jobs which range from small handyman jobs to full scale remodels and additions.

And the 1% rule is pretty much dead here, unless you find a very distressed property as @Jeremy VanDelinder mentioned. 0.6-0.8% is a better range to use.Leander is a great submarket.

They get the same questions and have a range of different funding sources. 

Then you just need to come up with the action steps related to these goals.When analyzing markets you want to look at things like population growth, job growth, a diverse economy and shortage of housing which Atlanta has in spades.

But it is hard knowing that I am only looking at cash buying 30-80k houses which prices around that range comes with bad things such bad roofs, boiled, and pipes.Thank you for your responds
