@David Cruice, looking at some multi family units in New Mexico, do you have a few tips to pass on to a new investor Possibly some Unknown’s that may come up or what are the most critical things to look for, what % does the city ratings/crime statistics have with determining the value of the investment?

I'm moving back home to Traverse City, MI and plan on becoming a real estate agent/investor.

Many people leaving the city of Cleveland are not leaving the market/region.

If you use that scenario, you are going to buy lots of units for cheap in the worst ghetto areas in the worst cities in the country.

You see that a lot in cities where a single family is illegally converted into 2.

With 100-year-old properties, it's quite likely we're talking about converted hot water gravity systems and in a place like Jersey City, converted coal burning systems.

I like the city of West View.

I found a City owned property.

I'm not sure why they can't at least give you some pics showing the condition and layout of the inside of the unit.When I market my properties, in my ads I show pics of the inside only (no street or address, just city neighborhood), but once I start a dialogue via email with a prospective tenant I give them the address so they can do I drive by. 

Did my research to find out there was no mortgage but had city grass violations fines 7400.
