I remember a pod cast, @clayton Morris, not sure which number but he talks about using your 401K loan to invest.  

I also look at if the sewer line is cast iron or if it has been replaced.  

Or every house in the neighborhood has lead paint, cast iron pipes, a septic system, a boiler and is 100 years old. 

I take this number and divide by the down payment and any out-of-pocket rehab casts.

With a tan house consider Colonial red or Sun Dried Tomato red - a darker red with a yellow cast instead of a blue cast, like Burgundy.

There are some great characters in the cast, and excellent info for old and newb alike.

You can rent those, too.If you have old clay pipe, or cast iron that's separated, this will be an ongoing problem.

Meanwhile the Americans or immigrants who decide to have a "free lunch" are able to watch propaganda all day for the better way of life of free handouts if they will just cast the right vote, the vote for taxpayer paid for medical care.

Building materials will get cheaper, but then people will want more, jacking the final price back up.Example: drywall is cheaper to install than lath & plaster, PVC is cheaper than cast iron stack pipes, etc.

The lord will heap back upon them the full weight of their overpriced properties and cast them into a sea of short sales and bankruptcy.A new age will dawn.
