Yes, there's some pick up for sure towards BRICs, but when push comes to shove and a war ensues I am pretty sure those allegiances will change. 

I couldn’t believe my luck and told the broker to decline it (to say no) since I was sure I would get more offers and a bidding war was to ensue, which was going to net me 10% above asking price.…..Wrong!

I read an article on bp where someone was suggesting there is at least a 3k reserve per year needed for any house, no matter its price (ensued a big debate as to whether this was 2k or 4k).I'd be interested in what experienced investors in these kind of properties do set aside as reserves and what kind of formula they use (per bath/sqf?).

Having a credit tenant in place allows you to sell the lease structure based on the tenant credit, and the income from the ensuing lease.

Would you rent a place that you went to look at and a screaming match ensued between the tenant and landlord?

Those of us with that consistency are likely to be getting more calls as panic ensues and people lose their jobs, but that doesn't mean that now is the best time to pounce on distressed sellers and so-called deals.

Hold these and over the years, rent will increase as will property values and the long-game ensues. 

At the time I was a broke graduate student, living in frozen midwest of Canada, studying for a career in science, and simultaneoulsy planning a way to escape the ensuing 9-5.

Records the repair as an eco ensue and the money you subtracted from their security deposit as income.
