I am looking at the Woodbridge area, but I'm not sure how to find out how rapidly I can rent a property.

It has some nice neighborhoods but a half mile within the same zip code and the atmosphere and property values change rapidly.

If you've got a mortgage on your home that's more than 4%, refinance it to a 15 year and pay more toward to the principal to eliminate that debt (pay it like a 7 year) at a rapid rate, for low cost.Again, nice job.Stephanie

Its a Valid question but I have come to realize that it carries perhaps to much weight in the eyes of the majority of investors.

They only make money if you are using the proceeds and if locking the rate for a year gets you do that, then fantastic win for them.The next trick is pay that HELOC off as rapidly as possible

Both @Amit M. and Account Closed have been extremely successful in this market and I am certain the cash flow more than $100 a door per month.The fundamental rapid appreciation of "A" markets allows an investor to take a short term hit on cash flow.

., that is weighted better than the newbie who says they use conventional financing or that they're not sure yet. 

I am looking at two homes in the Grand Rapids area.

I'm in the grand rapids, mi market and the home has appreciated since they bought it to the point I can't afford a conventional loan on the house.

In my opinion, a text message does not have the aura of professionalism nor weight.
