I would bet that the majority of people who fear market fluctuations are people who are not at all, or very little invested in the market.

I have already checked with the city, and there isn't a process for checking the readings online or anything, so my only option would be to drop by the property and look at the meter myself.

But I would aim for a bit better deal so you can refinance out all or at least the vast majority of what you put into it.

Any feedback on online classes vs. in person?

There would have to be some major reason (e.g. the unit is twice as big, it is in a better school district for your child, etc.).My recommendation would be to stick with conventional investment loans, 25% down, 30 yr fixed.

What I do for a living, or for income, is very different from what the vast majority of people do.

need to look online ,search REIA groups or go on meet up.com ,home owners association ,HOA association   and if there is no group , start one 

Has anyone seen success from online advertising, or do  physical yellow letters increase the perceived legitimacy of one's investing operation to a prospective buyer?

There a great many benefits when investing near the university- its the largest employer in Cincinnati, student population growing 6%/yr, I've had 0 vacancy, it's just 2 mi from over the rhine(think silver lake) and downtown, it presents cash flowing deals while well in the path of appreciation, and every major hospital in the city is within 1mi.

Hey everyone,There is this property that I am looking at and its not in a particularly nice area, however it is 2 blocks of downtown and a major tech employer in Raleigh.
