The SFHs there are expensive, usually 2500+.Where I do most of my property searching (blue collar area to the south of Dallas), $1300 is just above the threshold into the nicer/larger properties.

Blue sky isnt' given value.

Keith Lutz The comment about governors, was because in the 11 blue states, that have Republican governors, the unemployment rates, and economies are turning around, due to the changes they've enacted.

Ok so I'm looking at one of these...needs some lighter rehab maybe 20k.

Even heading along the Max lines you can find rents that vary a fair amount when you get out towards the end of the Blue line.I am not saying that every all areas will provide great cashflow.

If it is an "odd" property for the area, it may be hard to rent, and especially hard to rent at a price that would support your expenses and provide a return on your investment greater than a CD, blue chip stocks, or your choice of other options.

I think it best that I share with you some of the finer words by a great singer/songwriter that Luekemia took from us back in 1984 just days before the Cubs cliched the division, Steve Goodman.Do they still sing the blues in ChicagoWhen baseball season rolls around?

Awww Blue don't be modest now!

How would you like to talk to 40 people a day and answer same questions every 10-20 minutes from 9am till 11pm. once in a blue moon you get couple calls at 2-3am.I think that prospects feel much more relaxed when they know that they do not have to talk to anyone.

I think you did the right move there Blue.
