I like the idea of single family investments because it's an easier exit strategy if you ever need to sell/liquidate, less disputes between tenants (no noise complaints, fighting over parking, etc), increased long term tenants (blue collar families), and I think that tenants in single family properties tend to take better care of the place like it's their own.. often times handling lawn care and other small things themselves.

The state is consistently very very red with the capitol Austin as consistently blue.

Hey Joshua, the numbers made sense; fastest growing city in PA, lots of blue collar jobs, big rental pool, low purchase prices and relatively high rents.

Some properties, as the one I purchased in Dec "07" are replacing the old PVC copper with Red and Blue "rubber tubing" to deter the theives from stealing the copper from these vacant houses.

We really don't have a lot of crime here and I live on the east side which is one of the more blue collar areas and it isn't bad at all.

I have recently changed up a blue/grey paisley pattern sheet from Sam's Club for my Queen bedrooms. 

Hello,I am starting my journey with real-estate investing, and would like to know if there is a blue print for someone new like me to follow when purchasing first property.

But it's so dependent on where you are, in this case, specifically Red vs Blue area. 

I own in blue mountain beach and we have seen 30% jump since the winter in some of the areas.
