The way I look at it, is if I was in an area where I saw more growth and appreciation happening, I would be more inclined to bank on the possible rent increases.

What are your thoughts for Philadelphia  market to consider as cash flow / growth market.

It is VERY difficult to buy/renovate/and manage a property when you cannot drive to it every day!

I have been "Driving for Dollars" for 2 weeks and I have over 50 properties I am interested in purchasing.

In my area I know "drive by" appraisals are common, maybe this is a question for the bank.2.

The BP calculator does not know unique location dynamics, supply and demand, redevelopment, gentrification, demographic patterns, job and population growth or lack of, schools, crime...you get the picture.

It's a historic building and the location is such that everyone in town drives by this church on a daily basis and I think the community would be supportive of doing something with the church due to it's location and it's a shame to see it sitting empty and not in use which is what has happened these past couple of years before I bought it.The building is 4 or 5 ft about ground.  

Mostly finding properties via mls or just driving and spotting a property.

We have had significant growth over the past two years and are currently making all the calls and setting up contractors to come fix problems at our rentals.

and of course many had 75k worth of cars and a 50k RV in the drive way maybe a boat.. .LOL.. just cant manage credit..
