I am currently studying Finance with a minor in real estate and intent to get into the mortgage business shortly after I graduate. 

Starting to focus on Ithaca, NY (plenty of grad school renters) and Indianapolis (I'm there at least once a month for work and it seems like a growing city) but open to any and all areas that produce stable cash flow properties. 

I would like to avoid "bad" areas with high crime and bad schools as much as possible.

The area has good schools, grocery stores and parks and lakes near it.

I graduated undergrad from there, and I still go visit friends there quite a bit.

A lot of people from there seem to be moving to Hillside, as its a bit better (area, schools).

Interested for finance or invest in any of the following:*Real Estate*Resorts*Restaurants and Food Courts*Schools Science research*Shipping Cruises & Shopping Malls* Manufacturing firms*Sports Facilities*Constructions firm*Resorts & TourismDo communicate me via email only with attached projects summary/business plan.

I went to school at ECU and now live in DC (a drastically different pace of life). 

I believe by doing so I will learn a few things that I may use when analyzing new deals.Here are the numbers:Purchase price $85,000Downpayment $17,000Improvements $26,000Current monthly escrow $665 ($150 is principal)Current monthly rent     $1,100Utilities by tenantAssumed sales price $120,000Current mortgage        $83,000 (I re-financed at 3.5%, 30-year fixed to pay off my school loan a few years ago)I've been using the latter version for how much annual profit I make on my investment, as follows:$120,000-$83,000=$37,000 (in my mind I have $37,000 locked up in the property currently, ignoring sales fees)Annual net income=12 X ($1,100-$665) = $5,220 My return on investment = $5,220 / $37,000 = 14.10%Any thoughts on this?
