im located in MA and am investing in chicago for the cashflow. the worst deal there looks amazing to me through the lens of a MA girl hahaha. i was very resistant to going long distance, but am so happy i did. i had also looked into those cities you listed, but the partner i was buying this last one with was ultimately most comfortable with chicago as she travels there for work sometimes. one thing to just keep in mind is that it's the c/d areas that look best on paper anywhere, and look AMAZING in those cities, but you have to factor in increased volatility due to nonpayment, late payments, etc.

We spend a little more than $5,000 per month for gasoline and if we wanted to match up every gas receipt we would need to hire another full-time office girl.

The SECOND you embrace this... you can finally stop clinging to methods that will RARELY find you motivated sellers like bandit signs, door knocking, cold claling, DMM etc. etc.THIS is the exact thing I have been tryign to convince people of ... for years (yet people accuse me of selling seo).You can do it yourself.

And I wouldn't attack or accuse her, like implying she's the problem.

I've seen some where the buyer becomes a party to this reduced valuation and could be accused of participating in the fraud if trying to aid the buyer in establishing a false value. 

We are expecting our first child (a little girl) in just a few weeks.

Even though the lease states we are not responsible for that.The girl moved in and is proving to be a little crazy. 

If you do call him tell him you got his number from the English girl in Waddell (he lives near me so he'll know who you are talking about).

Then again, if he turned it into a rental he'd be accused of being a slumlord.

This Thursday is bad because the girl just got back from Afghanistan and have dinner plans, please do connect via email or text with info on the next meeting!
