Or just post up what your current mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, etc are, stats of the house and where it's located and we can help you too. 

For those who want some stats - it was at 20% unemployment in about that time frame. 1 out of 5 and trust me it was worse then that figure tells.

Side note: I have refinanced 2x in the past year and on the most recent appraisal at the beginning of spring, my house was appraised at $500K, but one of my tenants at the beginning of the summer purchased a 3 family almost identical in stats to mine for $540K and based on MLS have seen similar values, so that's how I am coming up with the $550K value estimate. 

Our information will always be imperfect when examining the law. 

In many cases the electrician is required to examine the existing system to ensure its safety, and can then be held liable for problems not directly caused buy the electrical contractor.

Examine our market carefully.  

I'm trying to improve.Thank you,KevinBiggest mistake I made when first starting in RE was investing in property through financing and to impress the chicks with the title that came associated with RE.For example: "Real Estate Entrepreneur" lolVery bad idea lolBe patient, do more due diligence on the people you are looking at working with rather than the stats/demographics of a deal or area.Establish and end goal and work backwards.That's a few quick and key pointers from someone that has been around the block as they say lolThanks and much success.

My neighborhood shows a very high crime rate on the stats, but I feel very comfortable living here, so I'm not sure I'd put too much emphasis on the crime info.You might want to check out Al Williamson on this site and my member blog: http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4445-collecting..., since I am also renting in a C class low income area.I'd also strongly recommend reading Buy and Hold Forever to see the other side of the coin.There are ways to verify the rent coming in, but be sure to plan for 10% to go out in turnover costs, which you may be able to mitigate in a nicer neighborhood.

Sorry so long, but this is an interesting topic to examine and now be a part of. 

Given the complex structures, the additional costs for licensure and compliance, and the additional record keeping and reporting requirements, along with liability for examinations, they would need to charge the associated company far more than that company would be willing to pay.
