and I have been "out of the game" for a little while.

With all my skills learned from BP, I have identified 2 properties in my city, brief information about both of the properties is mentioned below.I am planning to purchase this property with 2 purpose in mind, for next 6 - 8 years ( or more then that) I'll put this property on rent and after that I may stay there or I may not ( may relocate to another city, Nagpur).First Property •Located in an area which is developing rapidly as it is near to a big software SEZ.

I was a business major with a background in finance but ended up becoming a software engineer working for startups in San Francisco.The startup I work for has grown from 4 to almost 100 people which has made the hours more manageable and given me time to explore other entrepreneurial pursuits.I've saved up a small sum of cash to invest this year and I hope to learn a lot in my time here :)

Joseph Weisenbloom: I would take the information as a 75% solution due to the fact of not knowing the algorithm used for the software nor the categories used to determine what is/is not considered "crime".

If 40% is what it takes to get the capital, that's fine, but in my opinion that's pretty rich to the money source when you have 50% skin in the game.

@Purnell Cook it's not a matter of recommending it or not, if you want MLS access in the BAREIS coverage region you don't have a choice, it's the only game in town. 

Having been an out-of-state investor since January 2004 I can tell you that you'd be far ahead of the game in other markets where the economy is strong and the numbers pencil out.As Brandon Turner has mentioned, there are some turnkey providers here on BiggerPockets.

If you take yourself out of the game now, what will you do until that refi comes through?

If you're good at keeping the customer happy, and get good at bringing in business once you advance somewhat, you can get on the partnership track and make some very serious money.If you're willing to move to a different field, computer hardware and software engineer continue to be a lucrative field.

It's definitley a numbers game.
