I have looked at many listings and noticed they don't share a whole lot of information.So in conclusion, at what point should I contact the listing agent or the owner to get this information, or should I assume certain numbers? 

I like these two sites and often start here:http://www.city-data.com/http://www.bestplaces.net/Here's a good article for you as well to help you in your research:http://apartmentvestors.com/blog/market-rental-sur...Ultimately, you should do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

People tend to generalize and jump into conclusion that cheaper property always mean one located in the war zone area, but I think sometimes it could also mean hidden potential working class older neighborhood as well.I would like to know how is your experience so far on this crime subject with the Wellington neighborhood?

That's why Jon, Joel and myself have arrived at basically the same conclusion as to this transaction.Good luck!

@Gonz Trevino That was my conclusion as well Gonz.

Draw your own conclusions.

For me, that handyman you are looking for turned out to be my father, I just had to bring my investments to his area (Virginia)... sometimes you have to rethink your foregone conclusions.3) Are you telling people about it?

Crystal, your conclusion that "nothing really changes" is just plain wrong.  

I have considered this with my own current residence and continue to come to the conclusion that it is a rental that i do not want to own. 

Would appreciate your thoughts:  I've read a lot of posts on this site and others and am coming to the conclusion that 'wholesaling' (defined as the business of assigning contracts to purchase) is illegal and can land you in trouble with federal and state jurisdictions.... and even with assigning purchase options you still would need a real estate license to stay compliant and legal.
