I will start geocoding rents and sales prices of homes where I can find the data, and build a "heat map" of the local market while saving some money to invest.My target purchase there will be under $70k, and looking for $100 cash flow per door.Thanks again to those who gave me the straight talk earlier this year.

Hi, Im a NYC resident and I ve saved $40K, currently unemployed, working part timeI want to invest part of tht savings, around $30K to buy a cash flowporpertyMy idea is to buy in cash a condo in a city with a decent job market and a good local economyI looked into Tampa and Miami where prices went down a lot and, potentially, i can also relocate thereWhere should i invest?

Now it's time to turn up the heat and get your sole purpose sites out there.

I bought new central heating and cooling units for one of my properties, (It was really needed anyway) paid an appraisal for a property I'm about to buy and paid my wife's tuition.

This is why in Florida you see tens of thousands of Brazilians in Miami as well as Germans and others from the UK and Scandinavia.

@Mike OH - I am an environmentalist...I keep the heat at 68 in the winter...69 when the wife complains!

Except in a case where the location is exceptional like beachfront or a destination city like New York, Chicago, Miami, your simply going to reduce your upside with repect to apprecation.

I am a novice real estate investor in the south florida area (broward & miami/dade counties).

I'd guess you have boiler heat and that's a big chunk of the utilities.

Banks seem to be getting a lot of heat from regulators right now and they are scared stiff.
