So far no deals I have found are even close to creating reasonable if any cash flow with 20% down.

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

They are hard to beat for the price.

Similarly, a credit report fee upfront is reasonable, but these can often be avoided as well.

One question that you may not want to post here for legal reasons, is how much are you paying your PMC?

The Midwest is probably your best bet for a number of reasons.

As Scott mentioned, I am bullish on Buffalo for many reasons.

Today this would be possible in high priced markets were your average loans are more in the 500k range so only 10 a month.. like CA  NJ  Denver and ski areas . 

I wouldn't recommend it for a number of reasons. 

There's several reasons why I've bought and sold over 1,000 properties and just bought another one yesterday.
