I find that sending people to a website helps to narrow down the motivations of people interacting with your ads.

This will help you narrow your areas of focus and help define what savings goal you should be working toward. 

I should have mentioned that I am married with 2 daughters (2 & 7)...which narrows down my options for location as we are already in a great school and don't want to change schools a 3rd time.  

Ours in Fort Worth are B and C properties.True story on one of the duplexes: the appraisal district wanted to raise our assessed value from $145,000 to $175,000- pretty big jump.

If these were coming out of the ground, they could compete with older Class B and be a real threat.  

Narrow it down a bit more to an area .

Narrow down the location of Jacksonville. 

You're getting everyone's narrow interpretations, which are all over the map.

I would like to walk you through my analysis to see if I am doing something wrong with my numbers.Property: Duplex in San Rafael ST, South of Edgecliff Village in Fort WorthAsking Price: $155,000Down Payment (3.5% via FHA): 5,425Loan Amount: 149,575Loan Period: 30 yrInterest Rate: 4.38%Monthly Mortgage Payment (using BP mortgage calculator): 747.24Income:Unit A --> 695Unit B --> 89550% Rule:Cash flow = (Income)*50% - (Monthly Mortgage Payment) Cash flow = (895) *50% - 747.24 = -299.74** This computation was made only leasing unit B and living in unit A (house hack).A few thoughts regarding this analysis:1.The schools surrounding the area are below average schools (according to greatschools.org).2.I am not including the monthly taxes, nor the monthly insurance in my analysis (I have not searched for this information.

If I had to narrow it down to a top 3:- They don't show up- They run off with a deposit- They do crappy workTo avoid this, it really comes down to trust.
