What are the best resources to determine the trend of a housing market over the last few years and project into the near future?

Hello BP,I'm in contract on a nice little rental house that has some great potential, there is just one catch.The existing tenants (very nice people) are an elderly couple (75+), on a fixed income, have a laundry list of health issues, and have a ton of stuff in the house, not hoarders but more stuff than 2 people should have.

Ok,Im a home health Physical therapist and have the opportunity to cruise through many neighborhoods a day and think i have found a home that may benefit a whole sale specialist.

It sounds as if you have employed inspectors who have given you a clean bill of health.

Central location - relatively motivated sellers - mostly fed subsidized (mental health) - is it worth renovating and raising rents      - is it possible - small Apts (mostly 1 br) - option to hold and cash flow then repurpose as city changes zoning / vision How do you finance a large commercial purchase like this - % down / LTV - amortization / ARM - cash flow requirements - inspection requirements - special clauses for maintenance refinance options later Asset or personal info more important Code requirements for commercial loan Deferred maintenance list -What are main issues with 50 year old apartment building ?

Hoarding is now considered a mental health condition, and thus a handicap and covered under the Fair Housing Act.

She has since passed away, but her final months were better than they otherwise would have been, and her son's financial health certainly a crap ton better than it would have been (I caught him right before he was going to start missing payments, disqualifying him from any mortgage because his FICO was already shaky as it was).

It’s similar to when you join a health club and the papers say that you have 24 hours to change your mind and can get your money back.http://hobokenrealestatenews.com/2010/02/02/attorn...

Previous to that held a position in the Health Care Industry (IT) and retired after 20 years of service. 

If you don't see discoloration or evidence of mold in the attic area along with in the exposed areas of the bedroom, I would not be as concerned about the allegations of mold affecting the tenant health.
