Net worth of familes is a household matter and that 4.7% mentioned on the news yesterday was largely a fubction of national averages of RE values returning, not jobs or income.

The Mrs in my household doesn't have any trouble finding ways to use space either.

Zipcodes in Houston cover usually large areas, about 30,000 households on average.I will definitely start approaching sellers' agents.

I have been offered an opportunity to buy one of 12 newly constructed condominiums.

But another clause would virtually shut down private lenders – a critical source of capital for many real estate investors.HB 747 removes the exemption to the Florida mortgage licensing law that permitted private lenders to loan on 1-4 family housing units that are not owner occupied --- i.e. investment property (by deleting language that was always in the Florida mortgage law that excluded loans ‘primarily for personal, family or household use’ from the definition of a mortgage).

May 2017Single-family home sales rose 11.5 percent year-over-year with 8,156 units sold;Total property sales increased 12.3 percent with 9,744 units sold;Total dollar volume jumped 17.4 percent to $2.8 billion;The single-family home median price rose 4.4 percent to a record high of $235,000;The single-family home average price climbed 4.3 percent to $302,362, which was the second highest level of all time (highest was $302,629 in June 2015);Single-family homes months of inventory grew to a 4.1-months supply, the highest level since November 2012;Townhome/condominium sales surged 16.5 percent, with the average price up 3.1 percent to $206,363 and the median price up 0.9 percent to $163,500;Leases of single-family homes soared 31.0 percent with average rent down 4.2 percent to $1,779;Volume of townhome/condominium leases rocketed 46.2 percent with average rent down 6.7 percent to $1,565.

It's non smoking, minimum income of 3 times the rent, basically all stipulations listed in Brandon & Heather's management book.We had a prospective tenant ask to bring her 10 week old German Shepard (it's pet friendly at owner's discretion), she admitted that someone in the household smokes but insists that it won't be an issue, and her income is barely over the rent...even AFTER I went over all our qualifications with her.Am I still supposed to show the house to her?

We also require 3 times the lease payment in household income, so again it disqualifies section 8 candidates.

Now my current household income has nearly quadrupled, and while the monstrosity that is the student loan balance eats up a significant portion of monthly earnings I am nearly at the point where each (three in total) written-off account shall be PAID IN FULL (!!!

My ultimate goal is to have multiple properties the generate enough cash flow to fund other properties and eventually a primary household.
