Definitely worth checking out, but make sure you shop really hard for competitive pricing because most of the solar people out there are worse than used car salesman (I would know, I worked in the car business for nearly 10 years lol).

After running the numbers, I've realized that the market here in Miami is very competitive and the asking prices of MFs in the area would barely cash flow, if at all.

In NJ, it must be as competitive as any other US market.

We are in a multiple offer highly competitive situation.

Due to the recession I had to lower rents to stay competitive which gave me a negative NOI and I refinanced to secure a lower interest rate which raised my monthly payments a bit. 

Also there are a lot of speculators and flippers in the city, so competition is real, but don't let that deter you from investing in or near the city.There are lots of things I can say about Philadelphia, and I can probably continue writing for while but here is a starting point.

@Steve Moody  well it took 4 plus months.. but like I said the electrician baled to Alaska and we had a very busy travel schedule this summer.. so if we were right on top of it could have been done in 45 days or so.but with bank money a few months does not kill us on holding costs.. so that's good.I would like to think they can all be this good but with how competitive the PDX market is this is about as good as it gets off of the MLS in my mind..

How they look is more important, they need to match each other in color, and obviously stainless steel is 'in' right now.The only exception would be if this is a high-end area where all your competition is using GE.

In my area, there's a lot of competition.

When you do that, your OOS investing now comes with some form of a competitive advantage - either boots on the ground that you trust to be your eyes or knowledge of the area which is a huge help.
