@Jake Posnerstrongly recommend looking closer to home - OOS investing is more difficult than it's made out to be. andwith rates where they are, there's just about no cash flow right now unless you employ a creative strategy or a combination of creative strategies.if you just buy any old property in any old market, you're not going to cash flow.

You can also ask for a 'Seller Credit" which helps cover closing costs or buy the rate down if you come in high enough on the purchase offer.

@Mohammad Al-hadad investor expectations have been skewed by the last 5 years of low interest rates and artificially low prices.10+ years ago, most investors focused on Class B and C properties, not Class A.Reason: hard to get Class A properties to cashflow!

It is really important for us to keep the units booked to cover the monthly overhead (higher monthly rates to cover the 4th unit not being rented). 

Folks in RE are generally nice helpful, hustling to change their lives for the better. 

2) What their tenant retention % is for like properties. 3) Rates, whats it going to cost.

With rates at this level I an not sure places will cash flow at 80% loan value. 

One thing to look at in detail is the advertised cap rate and advertised NOI.

Can we do this while maintaining the same loan, so our rates don’t go up?

I would warn to be wary of choosing the lowest monthly rate, that is often a huge trap.
