As a knowable and tangible asset I have always been fond of Real Estate as a financial tool. 

One of my fond memories from being in the "sandy butt crack" of the world. 

Since there's a zillion jurisdictions in the country, and urban areas like Pittsburgh are fond of having a regulation for anything and everything, it's a good idea to run it by a lawyer quick first though, just to be sure.

Really not fond of 2% rule.

All the best to you in the area, I was fond of it.I know there is another investor on BP from Wooster, his name is Raul. 

Either that or another SFH as I have really grown fond of how easy they are to rent and maintain in addition to the quality of renter they typically attract.My question to you guys is 1.) what are your thoughts on my strategy 2.) what are your concerns and 3.)

Now I can network and try to fond someone who wants to help me with deals so we all win!

So I set my limit to be whatever that specific town uses.I'm not fond at all of college students in my rentals though, unless they are in a graduate school program ...Each person should fill out the application, and you approve or reject as a group - so if one doesn't qualify all of them are disqualified.Some further reading:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/51454-renting-to-a-couple-partners-not-marriedhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/64642-renting-to-group-of-studentshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/78248-question-about-renting-to-unrelated-groupshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/78263-possible-tenants-lopsided-division-of-income-and-historyhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/67258-one-roommate-moving-out-the-other-is-stayinghttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/68120-roommate-wants-to-break-lease-in-rentalhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/72900-when-tenants-dont-talk-to-each-otherhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/74515-additional-occupant
