I can imagine, LOL!

Most people (myself included) can't afford to live here at current price points and I can't imagine how that is sustainable long term.

I imagine there is a NH real estate contract that would be filled out and completed by both parties?

Either way I imagine I would have to re-paint/refinish but painting would be less expensive.

Tell us more about those deals sometime ;)You're the first guy I think of when someone mentions the NW corner of the state, I can't imagine your competition is too fierce up there, good on you!

I would imagine trying to apply the 70% rule in an area like CA would cause you to lose out on most deals.

@Lindsey Iskierka with a commercial loan or portfolio loan, I'd imagine you'd be looking at minimum 5% interest rate, and with even small multifamily the "60%" can apply, so it sounds like negative cash flow of around $1500/mo.  

I'm new to real estate investing but have been pouring over books, blogs, podcasts, and this forum for all the information I can get my hands on.

I'd imagine it'll be maybe $5 worth of electricity unless you're doing something significant like running heaters or AC.

I can't imagine someone would charge hourly rate to show properties here ;) who would pay?
