Downtown/midtown/Corktown/New Center/The villages are seeing $400sqft or higher.

Hi Mike,My wife and I did the same thing and held on to our 2 bedroom condos in village park as rentals when we moved out 25 years ago.

Think Lower East Side and East/West Village, back in the days.The hipsters are going up to 2 hours north of NYC now, for the last few years.

My idea is for residential, land plots to build, or villages to restore

Some villages may require it but, to me, thats just ridiculous.  

The Dallas area market has been, and still is a strong, desirable housing and rental market.Our properties are peppered around in different areas of the Dallas metro including Arlington, Grand Prairie, Lancaster, Fort Worth, Forest Hill, Providence Village, and Cedar Hill among others.Feel free to PM me for a more detailed breakdown.

I'm in the villages of Urbana so not to far from you. 

I would like to share some of the details of this win for us:Location: Wood Village, Oregon (near Gresham/Troutdale/Portland)Purchase Price: $235,000Down: 15% (Required owner-occupy first year)Interest Rate: 4.125% conventionalProjected NOI = (Starting year 2) $24,000Cash Flow = $8,800Cash-on-Cash return = 25.1%CAP Rate = 10.2%Total ROI = 48.3% (tax info not considered)These are just preliminary numbers taking 10 minutes to calculate.

I've always been intrigued with the German Village/Merion Village area (south of downtown) - however the price points are high.  

Wanted to stay local and called village to find out lien sale was next day.
