There is a reason why Midwest ghost towns got created during the 2008 downturn.

We just took over a 15-unit multifamily here in Portland that is in a great part of town.

But I was exploring the possibility of her getting some down payment cash and 3-5 years of potential cash flow instead of taking whatever that non competitive market gives her after the agents take their cut.

I am a addict when it comes to deals and look several times a day in my local market and missed some great deals how ever in my market I would suggest a duplex because in my city everyone works at the heart of it and the land here is just used up so its prime rentals either way I go home value has shot up as there is just no more land to build on unless you go out of town so SFH are overly priced so its a ruff cash flow, for me   I will be doing a duplex for following reasons 1 more doors = more safety if a moves out b is still helping to cover my payment 2 its still 1 roof 3 I control the value of said property if I really make it diamonds = raising the rent to the cap it controls the value of said property.

My boss/owner of the company would not get upset and actually encourages me to get involved in various groups and organizations in town knowing it will take up some work time here in the office.It obviously costs money to take the course and exam, then I need to find a brokerage to hold my license, correct?

I’m looking for insight on potential towns to invest in, specifically ones that are West of the NYC in New Jersey.

I am exploring to invest around University of Memphis area and reading the posts.

Hello Aaron,I would call the town and asked them if there are any liens on the property if the taxes are up to date.

I am currently building in South West Philadelphia, South Philadelphia and Brewery Town out of my own pocket.

But otherwise not a lot of difference.But, I'm not sure I would do it in a town I didn't live in unless I found a property manager I knew and trusted.
