I don't do this for a living and have no real world experience, but at 40% down, even with a 7% int rate, that seems like a high monthly payment.

I live in Owensboro, KY and would like to invest locally.

Hi, my name is Daniela and I am a real estate entrepreneur from Israel.sorry for my english..I invested in Israel and now it is interesting to invest in the beautiful Birmingham area.I am interested in buying a first property in the next six months and after seeing that it works buy more.My budget is up to $150,000 and I'm looking for 3 bedrooms and at least 1000 square.I will greatly appreciate your opinion and your help in understanding which neighborhoods are good for investment, where middle class families want to live, and which neighborhoods to stay away from.ThanksDaniella

Hello my name is Ernest KAKEU, I live in Midland.

It isn't easy to make things pencil, and I don't see it getting much better over the next 12 months.I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

Here, there are lives at stake.
