just wondering, in the current market would it be more lucrative to purchase rentals in rural areas or in the city of Atlanta ?

Granted, these lots are in some of the rougher areas of the city but I was curious if anyone has dealt with a similar scenario in the past and what sort of opportunity they saw and/or results achieved.http://chicagoist.com/2017/09/13/the_city_will_sel... 

Brandon and Josh always say, you can usually find a pretty cash flow-friendly area within two hours of any major city.)Lastly, try joining your HOA board, lay low for a while and learn, then see what you can do about lowering HOA fees.

If the property is adjacent to a city it may be sufficient to advertise for five (5) consecutive days. 

Outside of Gary, your PM should have no issues finding good quality tenants in those other 3 cities.

Now the good, if damage is assessed to be to high maybe the city will give you permission to bulldoze the house and start a new.

Hey BP community,I am looking to organize a casual drinks / meetup for folks who live & work in New York City and who invest in real estate part-time.

The fair market value, and the price it was assessed at for taxes,  is $236,000 (according to the city records).

Class A credit in primary locations (coastal cities, Denver, Atlanta, Chicago etc.) is going for 4-5% cap but I have seen Class A credit in secondary / tertiary submarkets around Seattle (one of the hottest industrial investment markets in the world) going for an 8% cap.

Listen what I would do is drive around the neighborhood you can afford around 6pm if the bus stops have lots of people making there way from work there is one money to be made and two a community of decent ppl there I'm not sure if u have children if not living in a bad neighborhood isn't always as bad as it seems besides the money you collect in a year or two may propel you toward your real aspirations faster than not making the move and no matter where you buy your choosing the tenant so set a base line of what you will and won't accept and stick to it people live in Baltimore, New York, New Jersey all places that once where **** holes that have taken some major steps toward change but more importantly they made a big bag of money from those horrible hoods
