You should have enough reserves to be able to pay the mortgage on your properties without any tenants for like 6-12 months.I agree with the blue genie.

Account ClosedIf someone called me out of the blue and wanted to make an offer, of course I want to hear the offer; why wouldn’t I?

It's between this and Venice / Englewood or Cape Coral now, unless something else comes out of the blue. 

Gray/white are popular, I have also seen greens/blues used more. 

I have experienced failure, success, and the myriad of different colors of mud and blue skies in between.

I'm currently looking for BRRR opportunities (distressed properties) in these blue collar areas, would love to have someone to bounce some numbers off of seeing as how new I am to town. 

This place is already ridden with 'investor' style repair jobs.Right now I'm speaking with Anchor Blue and O'Bryan for plumbing, and TopTech and Daryl Howard for electrical work.

Says his tenants in blue collar neighborhoods tend to pay on time, family-oriented so they plant roots, and they take pride in their home so they keep it clean and do a lot of their own maintenance instead of bothering him. 

For your questions: #1 and #2 = http://justicemap.org (filter by income as a general rule of thumb, A areas are blue and red areas are C, D) your other questions could probably by an agent in the market you are looking at#6 look for keywords like "fixer" "investor special" "needs work"

I saved two, thankfully.You can get a chemical, I forget the name, and put it in the pool so when the kids (or adults) pee it will turn BLUE and they are SOOO busted!
