Does anyone in here know a good rental target for Saginaw? 

Some lenders seem to be easing up while others have raised their minimum DSCR thresholds. Have you noticed approvals getting simpler, or are you finding more hoops to jump through lately?

Lower risk and easier to sell. 

So I’m really interested in hearing what areas near Phoenix you think:– are on the rise,– have adjusted in price with the cooling market,– or are good long-term holds where I could also live comfortably.Which areas/cities/zip codes in and around Phoenix/Maricopa county would you target with a ~$400K budget for a house hack with appreciation potential?

Include your timeline, criteria, and the fact that you're willing to share pre-approval or proof of funds.Lastly, when you speak with the agents, demonstrate what you know about your target market OR what you need help with.

Because the Property Class dictates the Class of the tenant pool that the property will attract.The Tenant Class greatly impacts rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.Both Property Class and Tenant Class will affect what type of contractors, handymen and property management companies you should target and be willing to deal with a property.The Property Class will also impact the maintenance & renovations you do to, “Maintain to the Neighborhood”.Why is that important?

What software do you use to find targeted property owners and their contact information (email addresses specifically)? 

I think once you've done that you will have a well established network so that when your first deal comes around it will feel much easier to navigate. 

I would definitely target value-add projects if you have a background in carpentry.

Quote from @Erik Estrada: Quote from @Jason Wray: Erik,I am not sure and would never talk in a bad way about any business unless I used them but in the last 8 months I have had several customers reach out to fix what they could not accomplish on really basic overlay issues.I have been seeing a lot of these other AI type LOS type companies drop the ball during the electronic Approve U style 1003/1008 deals that lack typical DU/LP findings.Back in the day we would target this type of company data to reach out and either help on the 6-12 month refinance or the aged leads.
