There was a great article in here a few years ago but was hoping to get prospective from someone doing it, today.

If you are in a market with long term growth prospects (and we are), then over the next 10 years or so price appreciation will be a tailwind on the returns of your rental. 

Maybe the post title should be this, "Should a stagnant city deter you from cash flow potential?"

The tenant is also telling other prospective buyers that he only pays 550 when he is supposed to be paying 750.None of that really matters to me since the tenant is month to month and he would be gone once I took possession of the property.

I have a prospect wanting to know if I can sell his home even though he has filled a Chapter 13 bankruptcies?

I've done it in the past, just not to buy a house, more prospecting for listings. 

It is best to think you are talking to a HUD representative every time you deal with a prospect. 

My concern is that a prospective tenant sees that it is for sale as well and will not apply for the rental.

But high rise resorts are a deterent and associations fees.
