One thing I always recommend checking if you are interested in a specific location is to check State, City, and even HOA rules in an area to see if there may be any restrictions on renting property for short term lengths as that can also influence certain markets and opportunities, especially with forecasting and managing.If you haven't looked into it already, I would definitely recommend looking into LLCs and Trusts for Asset Protection and even Tax Mitigation strategies.Note: This information is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.

@Samuel PetersThe 1% rule is just one piece of the puzzle.

Thanks in advance for the support!

There's plenty of rules and disclosures they could require when doing off market transactions.

You can still find deals in the $120-180K range that meet the 1% rule and cash flow, which is pretty rare these days.

The 1% rule means nothing without solid jobs and a good local economy.

The 1% Rule hasn't been gospel in any real estate religion, for any time. 

Quote from @James McGovern: I have decided on my latest flip toffee a $10k discount to buyers who support the second amendment.

They felt like I was not supported.

Don’t be afraid to flex a bit on the 1% rule if long-term fundamentals are strong.
