Yes, there are elements that are undesirable and I don't see were I live by the beach, but such are not a majority.What surprised me first is the ratio of property price vs. rent.

Stay far away from undesirable houses with lots of people/cars out front all the time.

If rents are below market and still at 60%, chances are many of the renters are undesirable and the purchaser is looking at undergoing a 100% turnover in renters, hence a real need to be cash rich to weather that storm.

Most if not all of the undesirable elements have been removed from this area and is really rebounding, plus the larger economic factors in KC have made multifamily a little hot as of late.

Homes are flying off the market in this area, and even if this slows, there will always desire in this area.I already have proven this concept that you can take a throw away lot on a busy street that looks extremely undesirable and turn it into a profitable build when it is in a highly desirable area that is appreciating and with high prices per sq. ft.

Therefore consult a qualified lawyer.Because you feel that a judge would side with you does not mean that the judge that hears your case will side with you.You want this undesirable tenant out of your apartment, I'll bet you want him out of your life too.

I am going to look into one of those spiffy new streamlined 203k loans, but from what another poster said, the rates are a bit higher, and there are other fees associated with the loan that might make it more undesirable than say.... one of those 95% LTV loans from BoA.I've never had a hard money loan before, but I see people on this forum talk about them all the time.A missing stove, check, missing fridge, check, missing dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer, light bulbs, and walls check.

There's a big difference between empty land (not close to a city), and typical houses in the 'burbs.I'd image the cheapest raw land is going to be land that is very undesirable, in a very remote location.

Here are my 2 cents, I'll let you determine whether some of them apply to Belgium:- Within the country, there are "appreciation" markets (large cities Paris...) and "cash flow" markets (typically undesirable suburbs with higher risks, smaller towns) and everything in between. 1% rule is easier to find in less desirable markets, in France just like the US.- Single family homes are not typically what people try to rent in France.

Here it is by the numbers...13,988 leads loaded into Datazapp; from that 4,708 phone numbers generated; of those 1,858 vm's were left with the Lead Machine; from those 205 people called back; not counting the angry vm's and "stop calling me texts", I received 1 vm lead, and they had their house listed for full retail on the MLS.This little experiment put me out about $1500 for the annual membership and all the peripheral purchases for Datazapp and the RVM calls.I promise $1500 of direct mail will land me a minimum of two deals.
