I invest in Genesee County, MI. I've been able to get city owned homes and update all the essentials; roof, plumbing, electrical and service the HVAC for 3 bed 1 bath houses that rent for $700-800. Not war zones. I've lived in these neighborhoods. You can send me a message if you'd like to talk.

Hello BP Community 

First, I want to say hope everyone is doing well during this pandemic and difficulties events.

I am a stock investor I have stocks in my portfolio that consist of Commercial restaurant, Loans, And REITS. I have nothing wrong to say about stocks as of my 15 years of investing. Yes, there were learning mistakes along the way. I would like to know the difference what should I expect while investing in real estate from stocks. 

I am aware that liquidity is far more complex in real estate than stock and growth is more long term, I have developed a Real Estate strategy plans for my investing but not sure how well prepared I would be if things goes bad. 

I am looking at houses that have good state economies, unemployment rates, rental ratio, taxes, and regulation. To decided if the property would generate cash flow. 

My ultimate goal is to find a house with a good tenant to generate cash flow on monthly basis. But it is hard knowing that I am only looking at cash buying 30-80k houses which prices around that range comes with bad things such bad roofs, boiled, and pipes.

Thank you for your responds 

you found a nurse dead in your rental???? You should be worry more about that situation is the family undergoing a investigation ????

Thanks for the post Joshua. I am interested in Reading area with buy houses all cash, but finding a good tenant to create cash flow is difficult with unemployment and city regulations, I am still looking around so far finding a property manager is hard. I  sent you a private message.

Anthony,

    I wanted to take some time to research more into your question. I was able to speak to a gentlemen named Greg who works with Reading City Building Inspections. He stated " We are here to assure to the tenants safety is being looked after by the landlords" Pass reputations of previous landlords who came through have left a sour taste on the cities mouth forcing them to take action and implement more strict measures. They still experience negligence but have been able to curve a lot of it.

     Another thing to keep in mind is unless manufacturing comes back from overseas and we stop importing a lot of goods and services Reading will maintain its current track record. The city has the potential to be a manufacturing machine if the circumstances improve. There are hardly any jobs in the city the main reason why the cities housing is so cheap.

HELLO Joshua I heard that the city inspections are a killer deal to landlords. I don't know if thats really true. I would like to hear your input about it. 

I am very familiar with the area, being I live so close but not in the city. I strongly suggest focusing on West reading area better overall and safer emphasis on safer or near temple. Stay away from 8th to 13th street. Hope it helps and please feel free to message me on questions I do not mind helping. ( Not my area of interest so no conflict for me

Its in decent part of the city and if you screen your tenants correctly you can have unlimited cash flow . I just check out the property and at 50k with a light renovation arv around 75-85. To be conservative, keep me posted because I have a few rentals in the area , reading pa the best keep secrets

hey i have pull out of the unit because of too many upgrades that i would have to do.

@George Bittar wow thanks for your respond. I am still trying to invest in reading p.a. Do you have any thought on investing in single family homes with tenants in place?
