You want to be sure you have a strong understanding of your market and of investment fundamentals, and that takes a bit of time to acquire.

So, fundamentally there is no such thing as a record of all vacant houses.  

If the Feds enforced fundamental and basic reserve and credit requirements the build up of suspiciously collateralized equity to 2008 would never have been allowed.

Thanks Massive cherry picking...based on managed forecasted fundamentals...not on any indexes whatsoever.

This should be the course material to teach the fundamentals of rehabbing houses in my opinion. https://www.biggerpockets.com/store/e-book-flippin...

Real Estate is 1 of the 3 fundamental human needs (food, water, shelter).

I know that all of the free stuff broadcast and distributed talks about how easy wholesaling is (and you have to think about the hidden agenda in that stuff), but when I read a post asking such fundamental questions as "what kind of contract should I use", I strongly recommend to people they get started the way I did.Hire a reputable trainer (research carefully, a lot of scam artists are out there) with proven results (for his/her students not him/herself) that will come on-site, help you set up your business, give you the right paperwork to use, teach you how to use it, teach you how to grid a market, teach you how to find deals, help you get deals under your belt, and teach you how to find buyers for those deals.  

Alleviating depression (if depression is a symptom of the mental condition, or the condition itself) is a function of an emotional support animal and should satisfy the requirement.An animal with a history of dangerous behavior need not be accepted:[A] housing provider is not required to make a reasonable accommodation if the presence of the assistance animal would (1) result in substantial physical damage to the property of others unless the threat can be eliminated or significantly reduced by a reasonable accommodation; (2) pose an undue financial and administrative burden; or (3) fundamentally alter the nature of the provider’s operations.so they do point out that an animal with a dangerous history need not be accepted, but what good would that do as most of that 'history' would be after-the-fact (after the damage). afterall, that's what no-pet laws are in place for in the first place, to prevent physical damage, to prevent dog fights and dogs attacking and killing infants and the like. and there were already exceptions for disabled people such visually impaired, but now there are exceptions for any tenant that any physician, psychiatrist, social worker, OR other mental health professional says needs 'accomodation' for 'emotional support' in coping with disability 'symptoms'. wouldnt be suprised if medical 'pets' are the new medical 'mari-j' at this rate! 

There's no reason to talk to me like an ignorant child.Since he either can't or won't actually address the question I've asked instead of talking down to me and trying to dismiss my question by assuming I haven't considered something very fundamental, I'd rather block him from commenting on my posts in the future if it's possible, but it's not something I'd consider abusive.

In Part I of this post I identified four U.S. markets which I believe to be ripe for commercial real estate investment: Atlanta, Austin, Denver and Durham.2018 Best Commercial Real Estate Markets to Invest In: Part IPart II is finally here and contains four additional markets: CharlotteDallasOrlandoPhoenixI used the following fundamentals and indicators to determine a market’s attractiveness for investment: Job and population growthAccess to a talented workforceDiversification of the industries that drive the market’s economyRent growthInventory deliveries, absorption, and vacancy rates.These indicators help paint a clear picture for a real estate market’s health, rent growth expectations, resiliency in an economic downturn, and overall future demand.
