Even the American Assn of Private Lenders (the organization that Don Konipol and I belong to) is going to cost you a couple grand to go to their events, considering air fare, the conference fees, hotel, transportation, etc, so there goes 20% of your capital.5.

Through innovation, new products, supermarkets, transportation systems, housing, medical breakthroughs, hospitals, etc., they enrich our lives, give us jobs and food and many services we take for granted.

Look up "Median Household income" on the US census bureauThen search the "Average household price" by zip codeIs it close to shopping/transportation or schools?

The company gets a per diem for each tenant and must profit food, shelter, clothing, transportation and other essentials of life out of the stipend.

Transportation is often an issue, how people get to work or to health care may need to be addressed.In any community of any size, you'll usually have many of these services available.

CRIME is a big one.The percentage of non-violent to violent infractions and if crime is increasing or decreasing in the immediate area.Intermodal transportation study is another and the future land use map.This will give you an idea of where they are today and what they have planned for the area in the future and how the city and county will be allocating their resources to develop certain areas.Much more items than this but it's been a long day and my brain is out of fuel........ :)

And the PPB is a requirement to take the mileage deduction for any rental-related transportation to and from my house.

This will tell you whats hot as the cash buyers are usually investors/rehabbers.If you are picking up rental property for you to buy and hold, nothing high end and have a good public transportation line running through it.

The other good draw with this place is proximity to public transport (rail).

I don't keep any tools in the house as the rehab is complete and still didn't while working on it(I rebuilt a little cargo trailer for ease in transport and storage of my tools).
