Some areas I know well, others are a giant, black hole in my mind.All of the online sites make it easy to produce geographic maps with SALE prices and SOLD prices, etc.However, where does one go to pull together a RENTAL RATE map?

Then you can force a partition of the property where the court will split the property as necessary (in half in this case) and if it is not able to be split (if it is a house), the court will force a sale -- at which point you could offer to buy the other half.

SO, in long answer to your question - I think if the rents were not able to be raised, I'd probably aim for around $70,000 with a $20,000 down payment if I really liked the property.

However should I be concerned about risk factors such as a neighborhood fire, giant crime spree the drags the area down etc.

I'm not able to get a mortage for 1 yr or 2.

The judge said I had option to also get the wife added to the judgment but she was not able to provide me the information.

The positive feedback from an accomplished giant (in comparison to our young business) is both humbling and motivational.

My wife feels like we would be paying two major bills (rent and mortgage) if I'm not able to rent the house out before we move.

In real estate investing things will happen beyond your control and if you're not able to bend sometimes to adjust , you'll break.Maybe you can't sell.

Thanks so much - Also  is a new roof amortizable or a giant repair?
