I've got cards and while I'm not conducting a mass campaign to thousands of homeowners on a list (baby steps), I'm sending postcards to about 20 homeowners of boarded up/abandoned homes I found while walking around Brooklyn.Very open to Networking, so if you know of any clubs/groups in NYC or would like to talk/connect to see how we could possibly help one another, send me a message!

You'd also know if the leasee moved in their boyfriend / baby momma and additional relatives which may have been frowned upon per written agreement.

It just seemed like a nice baby step without carrying two mortgages.

Hollande of course won't stay on forever, being even less popular than if Bush and Obama had a baby at their respective lows.As for Panorama, I know it can be very opinionated.

Looking for a "sanity check" from the expert community.Wife and I purchased a home in 2005 for $360k with one of those wonderful 80/20 interest only heloc deals and I am paying about $1300 per month (3.25%) plus taxes/insurance. 5/1 ARM Bubble burst and now property is worth about $270k and slowly recovering. 2011 3rd baby came and needed more space so I found a great place nearby and locked in 30yr 4.25% fixed and moved in.

@Mike D'Arrigo@Todd Burton  Although I am a firm believer in buying in your local market when starting out to get your feet wet.this is a sad commentary when investors sour on an entire market because of one bad apple.its like throwing the baby out with the bath water.However for most first time investor buying the cheapest rental in a given market is usually pretty risky frankly.. and those assets are more appropriate for locals who can stack them up and own 10 to 50 of them.. and run them as a business.I know its hard to fathom that on the west coast thinking anyone can own 10 to 50 homes.. but in those markets its quite common.the reason is Morris/Oceanpoint is only paying 5 to 10k for them in the first place and doing bear minimum in getting them ready to rent.. and from what others have said they are doing NOTHING.. :(  .. whereas say in west coast markets you can't buy any property that cheap even a beater is 100k.now in PHX you can buy 30 to 60k homes but they are in some pretty tough neighborhoods.. so why would Indy be any different at that price point.. ? 

Just add the cash flow into your analysis baby!

@Vincent Crane,I don't know about the other markets, but here in Atlanta, I don't think we will ever reach that 2012 (1996 levels) again.In terms of the stock market 2016 is a significant year as 75 million baby boomers will turn 70 and will be forced to pull money out of their pension plans.
