In my target areas, even a former meth lab would rent in that range :-)You are really just going to have to build a profile with your buyers to see how they operate.

I belong to NWREIA and they have several meetings every month, if you haven't joined yet, you can get more information at www.northwestreia.com/ and there is another, thought newer, real estate investment group called RareBird, they meet 3 times a month at the Lucky Lab in Multnomah Village and their website is http://myrarebird.com/investornetwork/.

Imagine what it would take for 4 people to have the right chemistry to live together for an extended amount of time.  

I have been a lab tech since 2007, but recently (August 2013) got my real estate license.  

Chemistry is important. 

So I start looking up numbers to call about all this and notice a link with the property address under a meth lab reporting website. 

Hi all,Since I am new to the real investing,  I was looking into a real estate investing school that offers a program like this school http://www.nyrei.com/courses/profit-lab-real-estat...I was lookng for the school to be in the area of NJ or NY if anyone can recommend a school? 

When a unit is priced low, good quality tenants automatically assume there's something wrong with it: either it's a dump, it's in a bad area, there's a meth lab next door, etc.

Besides that, I would recommend Investor Lab.  

Additionally, there can be significant cost and effort involved with getting B Corp Certification by B Lab annually if you choose to also pursue that.I'd like to make it make sense to file as a benefit corporation but it seems like the arguments against are stronger.
