Quote from @V.G Jason: You put more money down or buy distressed and fix up for less than stellar gains.You can get "creative", but not everyone has time to sniff out 1000 leads and act on 4 of them. 

Some of my best rentals are in Silver Spring with less than stellar schools.Id make the choice based on lifestle and commuting if you are going to live there.

It’s a fix and flip that meets all my criteria and when I put together a stellar team in that area I know it will be profitable.

I've loaned millions and millions of dollars with a stellar track record. 

There's no reason for me to think Bridge and Voepel won't do everything in their power to make this work, as their reputation is stellar as well.I'll keep everyone up to date in regards to what's going on.

I know it's generally harder to get a good cash flow in A neighborhoods areas compared to B or C, but I'm still willing to sacrifice that for stellar locations.

It sounds like there is significant difference in loan rates across the US.Try U S Bank A national lender just got a quote yesterday sub 4.5% National lender publicly traded company credit must be stellar!

My duplex here I did not get a stellar deal on, but due to it's location I can cash flow on it over $600/MO.

However, your financials are stellar.
