I recently talked to a local insurance agent that has been assisting some of the out of town buyers with insurance policies and the majority of them have purchased these properties sight unseen without any knowledge of the neighborhood they're in, school district, condition of the home itself apart from the pictures with fresh paint and new countertop or even seeing the homes surrounding it that have been condemned by the city. 

I always regret not investing there when I was in school.

Est ARV is 100-120K (good school district and solid B neighborhood).I haven't walked it yet (I will next week), but according to seller, it just needs paint, flooring throughout, new kitchen countertops (possibly cabinets too).

Any of the suburbs should be good candidates, the school district tends to dictate the desirability.  

I am 29, single, employed, have ample savings, a full VA loan, and am pre approved for 550k, and looking within an hour of the dc metro area, ideally Harford county MD due to the good schools and military bases near by. 

I have been reading about the costs to build a duplex and begin renting, but thought my situation was a bit unique and so I decided to make my own post.A few years ago we inherited a house and land in town close to a local graduate school for physical therapy, occupational therapy, physicians assistant, etc. 

Hi ALL,Just reaching out to see if you can give me some insights on Charlotte Michigan, Small City close to Lansing MI (21 Mil), I'm researching a Multifamily building, My concern is that there is 9,000 plus population only, I see articles that show is a good rental market, but it will be grate if anyone that knows the area can have some feedback as far is Schools, Crime rate, Economy and so on.As always, thank you guys, have a great day!!!!

I just graduated college and I start a new job next month as a Project Engineer for a multifamily construction company.

Nice area though and properties probably will hold their value as long as kids go to school in person at a building/campus. 

Lake county school system is overloaded.
