The ones I've seen, such as some of my tenants, are living together with everyone contributing toward the household.

We're going to guess what the income tax rate for a 120k household is going to be in 20 days.

A few examples off the top of my head are prices ending in 999 or 444, houses with the number 7 in the address, phrasing when listing a property and the corresponding sale price, etc.I think these are fun things to look at but I don't think they should carry too much weight when it comes to acquisitions, although they are definitely signs of a more affluent and stable neighborhood...just my .02 I think what's great is knowing that companies spend a literal ton of money on location research, they are doing our work for us to know what average household income is, what disposable income is, and they do a lot of footwork in location, location, location.  

Average household income is 44k (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_Christi,_Texas).

-Keep working my job in the meantime -Keep gardening and cooking more at home rather than eating out -Have my emergency funds (untouchable, lost my job or in a crisis type of funds) in physical precious metals - liquid, but not too liquid, and protected from inflation -Have investment property reserves in the bank where it will make my creditors happy to see it -Continue to stock up on tools, food, household supplies, ammo, etc - commodities that store well and for which prices will continue to soar.

But I fear it will just be smelly and dirty with all the household waste and office waste.

You are not bringing any money into the household.

Pierce Eislen has good rent and sale data, contact information for comparables, and other market level data.QuickFacts is a great free data source for population changes, household size, median income, renter percentage, et al.

Our house hold income is only 90k with my wife making more than me.

Are you ok with felons or sex offenders living in your household?
