The next gentrifying neighborhoods in Chicago are: Lower West Side; Humboldt Park, Gage Park, Ashburn, South deering, Hegewisch, Garfield Ridge & West Elsdon.  

A little lower ARV is also ok.I like to use Hocker Title.

I adjust pricing based on demand, like raising rates during peak season or local events, and lowering them in slower months to stay competitive.

Account Closed if you do a seller finance you could get a lower interest rate from HO then you can get at the bank.

The problem with using credit card funding is it destroys your DTI and thus lowers your credit score.

I can list a property for 120,000, get no offers, so they push me to lower it and lower it until the price is 100k, and then it sells for 97k - they will call that 97% of list price (even though it is 80% of original list price). 

I held each until a change in either market price or net asset value resulted in the REIT stock discount being lowered by 30%.  

Tenants in many markets already believe they pay too much (contrary to recent studies that show rent to property values have never been lower for the large US cities).If my insurance costs are not double my current rates over the next couple years, I will be pleasantly surprised.  

Secondary markets like Greensboro, Winston, and Fayetteville will likely still be under the 1% rule, but our property taxes are lower than most northern states so the CoC (which is what you should be as/more concerned about) return will be favorable.

@Jonathan Bombaci recommend using that amount as a bargaining chip for lower rates.80% of evictions are wash, rinse, repeat.
