Hi All,I recently began renting a townhome in Cedar Rapids, IA ( I now live in Minneapolis) and I just went through an eviction.

Wow, thanks for all of the fantastic (and rapid) responses!

You only need to know enough to make prudent decisions--you will learn rapidly when you are actively involved and have your money on the line.

However, bank can't/won't do a rapid rescore and said buyer has to wait 30 days for score to come up.

Hey all, I'm looking for a recommendation on general contractors in Grand Rapids and/or Grand Haven.

Great for if you own MFH or see yourself expanding rapidly

“D” Class properties are older, declining, potentially rapidly declining areas, characterized as bad/challenging neighborhoods, are older run down properties and potentially dangerous areas (war zones).

Our credit scores are 650 and 690, and we are rapidly paying down our debt using Kiyosaki's strategy, but it is obviously going to take us a while. 

You can reinvest the funds rapidly.

Also, with the rapid influx of people moving to the Raleigh area it's not likely that you'll have any problems keeping those places rented.
