Center square is on the opposite end as far as price goes, but if you can find a deal there, you can get rents at $1000 for a one bedroom increasing your class of tenant.I've tried to set my sights somewhere in the middle of this, trying to find something that will cater to grad school students around Albany med where you can get $1500 or more for a three bedroom.

I wouldn't recommend buying a house sight unseen unless you're an experienced investor / rehabber.

Hi everyone, I've been listening to the podcast and lurking on the sight for a while now and finally decided to introduce myself!

Too often we can get wrapped up in the "business" side of this and lose sight of the "humanity" side.

I try to leave the original principle alone.

I just decided I had enough and out of principle I wasn't going to pay any more HOA crooks, so they now have a judgment against me and are trying to collect.I tried to help a few friends work out deals with their HOA's one friend owed around $1,600 and the HOA ended up getting $32,000.

Same principle.

Its a commercial sight that many others can see as well so you're not getting the best of the best in most cases.My recommendation to build relationships is to team up with another investor.

I would appoint a trusted person on sight to manage, who lives there in exchange for discounted rent.

Construction projects are looked at harder as there is more risk involved but the same basic SBA principles are involved.
