There are lots of cities in the central part of the country where you could buy a nice house for yourself and a few rentals and have cash left over from your nest egg.When you read those stickies you'll get a better idea of the real expenses for rentals.

Hi, I just wanted to connect with any Waco/Central Texas investors!

I am looking to get into rehabs and eventually rentals...mainly in Central KY.

. :-)We are a father son team looking to get started in real estate investing here in Central NJ.

Here that would include central air because of sweltering heat in summer.I would advertise on a craigs list ad to solicit some good prices from vendors as well as a few yellow page calls.

I noticed there are a few other posters on these forums from central Ohio, but I'm not sure how active they still are.

Dishwashers, garbage disposal and central AC are not and would be considered luxury in low income properties.

any recommendations for paint contractors in central nj (middlesex county)?

The other element of central air conditioning is the return vents and ducts.

So in order to have central air, we have to remove the furnace and install a new one plus of course the A/C unit.Our question is: does it make more sense to do this (house is 1250 sft bungalow, we are guessing we can get it done for about $6,000), or to leave the furnace in place and spend about $1,000 and get window a/c units for every room in the house?
