My goals are to open residential health care facilities in California.

My wife is a teacher and I am a school mental health counselor.

But don't count on their rent in order to make the payments, and then discover they can't handle living in the flip and they move out, leaving you strapped.Plan for mental health breaks, too.

He and his family have been very difficult with the move out;  his son has told me he will break back into the house (filed a report with the city police dept and informed the tenant of his son's threat and my report), he insists that they "took excellent care of the house" and is expecting his full deposit back. 

I've also found that when I run a credit check many who have a fair number of accounts over 30 days in arrears (even if they haven't reached the collection stage) are to be avoided over a concern they've become too casual about living like this and thus adding another notice of a late fee (or even a threat of an eviction) doesn't seem to bother them very much.Gail

The color shows the Market Health Index (Green - 10; Red - 1), and the size of the circle shows the Market Price To Rent ratio.  

Most products used in the US construction industry have to meet high standards to ensure they do not pose a threat to people, apparently the testing was not adequate in this case....  

I live in a very rural area north of Asheville, NC which does not have much going on as far as real estate movement so I’m looking at other areas.Asheville is hot right now and has set record sales/prices for 2015.This has put the little inventory that is available out of my price range.Asheville would be my long term goal.According to Zillow (which I’m not sure how accurate it is) market health index for Asheville is 9.4/10.Other areas I’m considering are Greenville, SC (market health index 7.8/10 ) and Johnson City, TN (index of 5.9/10), both with more inventory in my price range.Asheville is 35 minutes from my house, Greenville 2 hours, and Johnson City 1 hour.I have made contact with a realtor in the Greenville area and that area really looks like it has potential.I am a Nurse and my wife is a Physical Therapist so we have W2 income and would not need to live off flipping.I also have 3 days off a week to manage rehabs, plus downtime at work for research/studying markets.

My lease does state that the tenant is responsible for the health of trees and shrubs.  

Worked in O&G for Noble, saw the writing on the wall and went back to health care IT.
