@Kim Ford what are your objections?

We are hosting a "meet the candidates" Sept 1st at Hoffman ford (5200 Jonestown rd, Harrisburg PA)  Starts at 6pm, we are providing snacks and drinks. 

@Paul Khazansky just curious, why the $250k minimum for DE? 

Just like Ford dealerships don't necessarily have the selection of Toyotas that you want, not all banks have the mortgages you want, and most aren't REI friendly at all unless you're a rich dude buying 100 unit apartment buildings. 

If so, the lender may for d to you pay off that loan when you sell the property.

I'm John Ford and I bought my first home in 2005 in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward neighborhood.

Hey @Kim Ford welcome to the site and you can find the analysis tools here: http://biggerpockets.com/analysis

Favorable business conditions and a reasonable cost of living are largely driving growth.It's the tertiary markets: midland/Odessa, eagle ford, etc that will be impacted in a meaningful way by oil prices.

Thats true Upen but its good to note that generally only the base or salary income can be used for qualification with out any waiting periods assuming the same industry.Using bonus/overtime/ auto reimbursement/commissions from a prior job will be hard to carry over unless it was a near identical position in the same industry like car sales man at chrysler to car sales man at a ford dealer or retail sales at AT&T to retail sales at Verizon Wireless.

i actually heard Ford is extremely business friendly with doing car loans and leases.
