I'm going to look into this method using your methodology even with the higher interest rates to see if it's advantagous to me.

So the methodology and practice exist. 

A house with a bad old design like that screams that other issues are likely like terrible wiring, an ancient electric panel, aluminum wires, asbestos, lead paint, bad plumbing, and a creepy Norman Bate-style basement.

The hard work will pay off if you are willing to do the hard work and learn to read people and treat people the way you want to be treated without letting your business suffer.But cash out your 401k and treat people poorly including tenants, outsource all of the dirty work to vendors and property management companies  and you will have a better chance at the nearest casino.Good luck and I sincerely wish you the best.This is the methodology and track that I was thinking.

@Jon PierreGreat insights and love seeing your methodology. 

Would have to see the methodology for how this is collected.

What methodology led you to investing in a townhouse in Trenton? 

Also the range appears to be ancient. 

We use price per acre methodology in the South Western States with a minimums for smaller lots.  

A heat map shows the level of crime...like this...pretty scientificThe data can be normalized for your specific location by establishing the baseline for the city, not the nation...so you can compare relative crime rates to tell where the worst stuff in the city is happening...it goes on a scale and can then be graded:Anyone that creates a crime map based on anything but this methodology is playing a fools game...its simply inaccurate.
