It may not do much good to continue to debate expenses and business models because the positions are pretty clear.Those of you who are reading this, and contemplating becoming landlords need to consider these points of view when you do your math.

i just posted this from a logical point of view, please don't get me wrong on where the property has to be, but i will speak for those who are looking to buy in those areas to raise their families, like jon said, i was just contemplating.

The only two factors that truly matter when determining value are the price at which you could sell it for or the amount of income you could generate to service the debt.Anyone contemplating a purchase solely based on previous appraisals, current list price, or loan amounts, stands to lose their shirt.

See while you are contemplating what to do, you are missing the big picture again which is even if the rent on one is $600 and there is no tenant then you are stuck paying for that.What you do is go find someone who really needs a place and put them in for $475 and now you have just narrowed down your problem to $125 bucks and anything you have to pay outside of that will be the COST of you BEING GREEDY and a SPECULATOR.Sounds like you bought the properties right or at least the one.
