Where's the $50k?

Quote from @Drew Sygit:My apologies w/my earlier post (below), I was on my phone and not laptop so it wasn't tagging.I will if I may add some additional thoughts...1) The appraisals I've seen in these markets are no where near Zillow estimates. 

For instance, one client is currently dealing with a claim where a plumber sent to repair a toilet was accused by the tenant of sexual harassment. 

I’m also looking for funding opportunities to help me take the next steps toward where I want to go. 

Where I am in New Jersey, the numbers wouldn't work out at all, but those numbers are good on your sale and rent for the build cost, especially since they should appreciate there in Little Rock steadily.

I'm planning on flying over, just trying to gather info right now and trying to decide where to start.Have a great day!

This is where you can significantly increase the value of the property by making improvements that attract quality tenants and justify a higher rental price.

And investing into a correction with no information about where the bottom is, well let’s just say it’s not my cup of tea

I calculated her monthly payment is 1300.Since it is a vacant investment property where she will be taking a loss at sale and has been on market for 60 days, I am thinking seller financing may be mutually beneficial.I am planning to make 2 offers:300k with conventional mortgage.

Can anyone else suggest other real estate or economic newsletters where I can get big picture news on the real estate markets and economy?
