The housing markets improvement means deals with enough meat on the bone are fewer as well.

Not to much meat on the bone from my answers, but i am willing to share what i know :-)Pierre

If I spent half as much time on BiggerPockets as I did on the Lincoln strip in college, I'd probably be retired.I'm going to throw you a bone here.

Like was mentioned use the tissue paper test.

Great advise/comments so far, thanks.So the situation has now slightly changed and would hope to get more advice…As I mentioned above it looks like the tenants are moving out however this has not been confirmed by them as I am unable to reach either of the tenants (A or B) ones voice mail (A) says that her phone is broke and she is replying to messages as she can, the other (B , who moved already moved out) I suspect does not care does not ansure.

I've made absolutely no bones about the fact that I am a novice to the game.

Little to no meat on the bone left at the end of the month if I buy a $600k SF home for myself, with big $125k downpayment and $3000-$3500/month obligations.

It really depends on your strategy/plan with the property.....If there is more "meat on the bone" and you don't want to pay any up front fees or monthly fees....private money is a great option....if you have $12-15K and you can handle the HML and make a little more on the back end this may be a better option........good luck!
