Flipping property with those #'s and outside your market is like swing around a can of gasoline without a lid while smoking a cigarette.Frank

What is the name of that NY state agency, ill have to try and find its MA counterpart.

congrats to all the kids on here with their successes..pretty awesome i think....and thanks to the vets for being so encouraging instead of knockin us down..i'm 23..own one single family, and now just purchased a 4 unit property recently as well...trying to keep my debt down best i can...all my friends make fun of my beat up old truck and im renting a walk-in closet in someone's house...one day i'll have a car that doens't wreak of gasoline!

Depending on your area, consider solar if keeping home for a while longer or a solar good generator so as gasoline could be a hassle for tenants...not to mention hazardous7.  

I smell gasoline..However, we are still a shining city on the hill and I am generally an optimist, and even if things go south, it's up to me how it effects my personal economy, or how I take advantage of it - so my investing won't change and I hope for the best.

TYPES OF SALE Unlike their counterparts in the Anglo-Saxon countries, Italian estate agents do not use auctions for the sale of properties.

This market is by no means California and we certainly aren't seeing rapid appreciation like our West Coast counterparts, but we have absolutely rebounded and are steadily increasing.

@Julie VerardiThere are a couple challenges with investing in Co-ops in NYC.1) The bylaws may forbid you to sublease or require you living in the property for a period before subleasing it.2) The Co-op may charge you a sub-lease fee in addition to monthly maintenance3) The co-op may require that they have to interview your tenant before they can move in.4) The co-op at anytime can require you to make a payment for any special assessments they plan to build upon.Pro is that the Co-op will take care of all exterior repairs like common areas, roofs, repairs.Co-ops are also cheaper than their condo counterparts.

Over the last decade, UT Austin (obviously in Austin, not Arlington) has expanded a lot and RE around it has always been high, now unbeliebably high.The properties around UT Arlington are far more affordable than those of its Austin counterparts.

Or you would have to have a septic service come out between guests and also fresh water delivered and a working generator with gasoline delivered also.
