I would like to find either properties that will generate cash flow or to flip as I believe that the areas still offer good chances of significant returns.

Some people only want new properties in nicer areas to lessen the headache factor others are willing to chase higher returns by getting cheaper properties.

As you're on the loans, they'll count them towards your DTI, however, if you have 2 years of tax returns showing positive income, it should actually help your DTI ratios.

While it's possible to manage a property remotely, it's not the easiest thing in the world and you can still make great returns in markets with someone else managing all the day to day details for you. 

I expect to be released by my doctor tomorrow and if that happens, we are off to PDK to return to Seattle.

Ideally she would pony up the new SD and you would return the apartment SD per your state laws.

What has the best returns and what is available.
