I was referring more to price of houses vs income, which translate into demand for residential purchases. 

In speaking with the tenants with a translator (they do not speak English), they told me that the previous owner new about it and it had been an issue for many years. 

Let's translate, shall we?

Obviously if those salary/tax statements are in a language other than English, prepare to jump through some hoops like certified translation (tip - do it online!)

This brings a different kind of value that doesn't easily translate into $$$.

Guess my sense of humor doesn't always translate in a forum lol!

I set them up online and told them that they could otherwise place it in my mailbox.When the boundaries are clear in your head, they will translate into your actions with the tenant.

I'm all about the books that can be translated to have an impact in real life - not the kind that is just filled with new/cool ideas to chew on.

Translation: the demand for rental housing is stronger than it has been in most of our lifetimes (I'm 61), and is expected to continue rising, barring any major financial disasters or similar.I would say, get in now by whatever means you can.Overall, I'm a strong proponent of "invest for income" and use that to pay down your debts.

Translation: most bird dogs operate illegally.If you want to hunt down deals then consider just getting them under contact (sales agreement or an option).
