That said, I'd love to hear how the BP community assesses medium to long-term (5-10yr) prospects of apartment rental markets? 

Hi everyone,I am a current travel nurse who through being a renter of medium and short-term rentals for quite some time, have decided to get into real estate investing so that I can be the owner and rentee.

The manual should tell you the width of the area it is measuring, at various distances. 

There are underground outlets throughout the home, no GFCI in the kitchens or bathrooms, one horizontal crack from floor to ceiling in the first floor with a crack running the width of the room where the wall meets the ceiling, there is a thin stair step crack on the brick exterior (seller claims the issue was repaired).

Your best bet will be in small to medium size markets in the midwest and east coast (for example Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin).

I won't be able to get an FHA loan, due to the circumstances involving this property having " 2-units " , and there not being any other 2-unit or similar properties in the area to compare it to for comparable salesSo the Lender I am working with, said that my best ad ( only ) bet, is to go with the 5% down conventional loanI just received in the mail yesterday , my credit score report, and the medium score of the 3 , is a 670As to having the sell pay for the down payment, I just wasn't sure If my mom ( who is the Trustee of this property ), could pay for the 5% down payment ( Out of the Trust ) ?

I have to say the BP podcasts are very addictive and a great way to get yourself into the fast track with investing - In regards to reading real-estate books - I have found that audio books are a much faster medium to get your information in - Your local library should have enough to hold you over, however the most bang for your buck is to listen to the BP podcasts.

Works with alot of investors and small to medium size businesses.

After the lead comes in through various mediums then begin incubation.

They also don't provide the income that real-estate can.I'm interested in purchasing a small-medium sized multi-family property.
