In fact I'll be visiting Fort Wayne to explore from 7/20-7/23, drop a line if any particular area/places I should check out!

I live out of state (in Washington) but have a few rental properties in the Atlanta area that are managed by a property management company.

We have an investment in College Station, TX and since my wife and I attended school there we are very comfortable with areas where renters and students want to be.

Since you live in the area you know the neighborhood better than anybody.

Long story short, I am from a small town in a rural area.

I browsed for trustee sale in North Carolina but nothing coming up, except the the listings on Xome.com for online bidding I am not in the business of buying foreclosures so I am not sure which trustees post it on their site or if its best to search the areas newspaper for public notices.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

I think the intention was for the 2nd "sleeping area" to the left side to be for guests not for a permanent occupant to use.

Numbers are a little tight so I'm hoping to get an offer soon.

What about in your area- are you bullish or bearish?
