There was just a multimillion dollar hospital built in the region and this home is probably 10 minutes away from it...so I don't see this booming growth to slow anytime soon.

Most markets are stabilized with moderate rent growth annually to keep pace with inflation.

The town's commercial sector is not the best, quite a few business are leaving, growth is stagnant.  

Hello Fellow InvestorsI am fairly new to this game of real estate investing and am in an aggressive growth phase.

I have this nagging feeling that I am being too optimistic on my numbers.2 family unit, first floor is 1 bedroom 1 bath, has access to basement. 2nd floor is 2 bedroom [1 bedroom plus renovated attic], with small balcony in the back.The whole house is ready to move in, the current owner did a great job, recently she lost her husband and lost heart in owning this house.Asking price is $65,000.This is a small town in PA, population had been stagnant in the last 10 years, only 2% growth.

DFW growth just marches forward.  

For the past year, we have managed the transition well enough to achieve 8% rental rate growth.

My advice, is in the beginning purchase in your personal name as you will get the best financing terms and once you get close to running out of slots, then buying in the name of an LLC can help continue your growth and by then you have a good track record as well.Happy hunting,Eric
