Sitting on the beach telling friends about how they dropped one on a buyer for a great price.Don't be the investor that overpays and becomes another statistic.

These numbers come from the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Louis, Kansas City, Indy, or any other city for that matter that has a high Gross metro product, high metro statistical area, a low housing affordability index, and stable job markets with preferably multiple diversified industries (kinda like Memphis).Thanks everybody for the great advice, and the kind words.  

    @Johann Jells They do what is called a statistical re-evaluation. 

According to Henley wood statistics, changing out or updating garage doors are the highest value-add with a 152% cost to recoup.

Landlords afraid of statistically-inevitable squatters will rationally prefer shorter-term renters, inadvertently discriminating against just the people rent control is ostensibly designed to help, like retirees or families with young children.

Yes, it was a pretty bold move!  

Your assumptions are bold. 

Even then, you're still dealing with statistical probabilities - meaning there's a chance your results will be better or worse than the models.If you're married, building a joint risk profile can be geometrically more difficult. 

My next move may be bold, and many may say farfetched... but my girlfriend currently lives in pensacola fl. and i would like to make my way down there sooner than later. how would you guys suggest getting geared up and ready to do so?
