There is a yearly study published that compares renting versus initial year of ownership.  

I just read a published article today by the Columbus Dispatch that Franklin County home values are supposed to rise by 30-35% with re-appraisal.

Prior to each change date, lender will calculate the new interest-rate based on prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in affect on the change date.

The current publicly published estimate of the value is $260k-$275k.

It says, "In law, slander of title is normally a claim involving real estate in which one entity publishes a false statement that disparages or clouds another."

It is not a knock on Grant, the publisher lacks credibility.

I'm curious because I have tried to negotiate w/ banks on two short sales I have pursued, but the answer always came back that they were pretty firm on the prices they published (on the MLS).  

I even gave her the reasons - company address on your W-2s is a residential building, company phone number on your boss's e-mail isn't a published land line, company website on your bosses, e-mail didn't exist when she sent me the message then miraculously appeared at midnight after I questioned it but the graphics on the page were for a completely different industry and not a single link on the page worked, boss referred to you as an employee yet there were no taxes taken out of your check, not a single employee in the company can be found in Linked-In or Facebook, and google can't find any evidence of the company in the state you said it is headquartered.  

Agencies seldom publish their compensation anymore, and it varies greatly by what specialty that nurse is going to work in.  

When I first began researching & learning I thought, "What a shame that so many fools bought property in Boston that doesn't cash flow," but I soon realized their definition of success must be different.But I never really see anyone publish criteria or strategies for successful investing in these markets, aside from going out-of-state with turnkey operators or similar.
