I have been buying underperforming properties and I believe all the big names soon do the same just in a bigger scale. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I am buying a property for 144k that appraised for 247. the property was lowered to this number after sitting for a year. needs 25k in repairs, and will rent for 1350-1450.

I strongly recommend against people buying real estate with zero money.

San Antonio is hot in the summer.I will compare my return on San Diego purchases against any market, but if you plan to buy rent ready, I think many markets will beat San Diego in the short term.  10 years or more out, I suspect few markets will beat San Diego.  

I am looking to buy a lots / land in O' Fallon , Missouri .

Hi Everyone,I am thinking about buying a planner.

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

P.S All the people buying popcorn I want you to know that it has a whole lot of carbohydrates in it so you might wanna be eating celery sticks and carrots instead. :-)

I hear everyone though, buying a home for STR is the next step and it is the better choice.
