House is in the 77021 area, 8 mins from the medical center.

I know people paying cash in multiple states so theoretically it "cash flows" but I'm not a fan of paying cash Can you do MTR or STR in Fresno to traveling medical workers or corporate professionals so you have less negative CF vs.

In early December last year, one of their children had a medical emergency in the house and had to go to the hospital.

I would not go online to get medical or legal advice from randoms. 

It's close to the freeways and medical center.

Plenty of tech companies are heavily investing in the area and we already have large established universities and medical facilities 

Travel medical professionals, and other MTR travelers, are only stating for a few months and will likely pass on your home if they have to set up utilities. 

I'm guessing after logging died down they had a steep decline but seems to be on the upswing now... low cost of living and good recession-proof jobs due to the Air Force, Sky Lakes Medical Center and Oregon Tech...

Is it gaining or losing population.Hi Michael,Thanks for your comment.I see Toledo as quite a diverse city when it comes to employment.From white collar medical to blue collar steal, glass and manufacturing.I'm sure that you can look things up online further and find out all of the stats/demographics about the employment and population, etc...In my opinion it's very easy for someone like myself to paint a pretty picture about the Toledo market and to "smudge" your eyes with booming figures.Something that I don't practice because every market has it's pro's and con's.I will say this though just like I've mentioned to many other investors over the years.Focus on finding the right people first before focusing on the stats/demographics of a particular market.When you work with experienced investors (As in you have "boots on the ground"), they are going to be the ones that will know the micro economics of specific cities or even regions.So, the broad market stats that you can find online will differ to what people on the ground know to be true.Just my 0.02 Aussie cents lolThanks again mate and I wish you much success

Here's a casein FL - Seller in foreclosure has 120k principal @4%, Shes 10k in arrears, house is worth about 250k, good condition.She wants to stay at the house, but doesn't mind selling it if needed.She will likely not qualify for a loan mod at the moment, good amount of equity.She works in the medical field, just took sick and fell behind.I was thinking of offering to pay her 10K in arrears and creating a 2nd mortgage @ 10% interest.if she defaults, i can foreclose,  as there is a bunch of equity there.any thoughts of a better scenario that i can make more of this situtation?
