Other than the depression of 1920’s no government has had the wisdom and discipline to do that.  

There is a big difference in quality from the older late 1800's to early 1900's wood/vinyl side buildings compared to the 1930's and earlier brick built properties.

I would guesstimate that annual revenue is just below or around the million dollar mark with a labor percentage around the mid 20's!

I am debating if I should buy a decently priced home in Florida using a mortgage, rent it out as soon as possible, and have a tenant(s) pay down my mortgage until I am ready to move in and have the mortgage either paid down or nearly paid down.

Hi @Gio Franco We have a lot of owners in my market of Chicago that buy a condo and get a roommate(s).

Maybe this is what your real estate agent used to value the subject property. 540 Willard Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30310 - Link1666 S Gordon St SW, Atlanta, GA 30310 - Link

I am way above the occupancy #s but most of my rentals are small 1 BRs and most would come in below that average $. 

On a new build $275k is the sweet spot but if you go up to like $320 it better have a steep roof 9ft ceilings and curb appeal front or it will sit up to 90 days before selling.Its basically what most people can afford around here.I would take more of a data approach to this instead of guessing. in our market all new builds combined that sell on the open market is about $550k. we build between 350k and 500k. we also stay in line with where national tract builders build in our market which s 400-600k but we like under 500k in Columbus Ohio. in miami it's similar in suburban markets  

Ohio, however is a hybrid state offering tax deeds and certificates (I saw online that only the counties with populations > 200,000 offer the lien certificates).So, my question is: Does any one know of any resources that are more specific than what I've come across...that provide detailed information of specific counties or states (as opposed to just general information, or sales pitches for classes that cost $1000's)?
