Prime real-estate for a transient, as it turns out.I first heard about it when the tenant complained that the guy put a mattress on some vent, and it broke a cooling fan, resulting in a few hundred dollars to get it fixed.

Ooh, what a cool start for a kid. :) I'm sure most of us wish we had learned more of this from an earlier age!

They see median home prices running $600K or so, and those are influenced by all these cool developers ripping out the old and put up brand new crazy-gorgeous glamorous homes -- literally million dollar homes in some cases.There are several houses in that area, very similar, same everything, that have been fixed up (in their current size and floor plan configuration) and flipped for around $285K or so. 

You are in a pretty cool area yourself!

Good luck keeping your tenant in the hood with a $400 electric bill and no way to cool the home.

Not a great deal per se, but the area is growing with some cool millenial-oriented developments.

Lastly, since everybody has different investing goals I'll leave you with this: Even if my return is zero or even somewhat negative during the repayment period, in 15 years (actually quite less on many of my properties now) once the properties are paid for and still generating a ton of cash is when I will enjoy the returns...I can see it now, I am 60 years old traveling the world with my wife and not a financial care in the world, and when I am 80, my kids  saying "Dad, your so cool, we're really glad you bought those houses"Cheers, Lawrence

My goal for the next few months is to master one area of investing and hopefully make my first deal. if you have any advice or if we can meet in a cool city to enjoy lunch or coffee and chat I’m here for it!!!!!
