Neighborhoods on the decline will likely depreciate and less buyers(investors) will be interested in that enviroment later when you may sell, and the quality of the tenant you can atract will decline too.The $6000 repairs is that what it needs right now to make it rentable, or an annual amount you are allowing for?

Use a portion of your cash for quality marketing, then you are on your way.

A shop can give you many added capabilities, improving the quality of routine tasks and equipment maintenance, as well as potentially enabling bulk purchases, or even taking advantage of "rack" programs by local suppliers.

Read the information that you find on this site then find another forum that is dedicated to investing in stocks and compare the two and decide for yourself which is the best.Which ever method you have the most faith in will work out better for you.

`(b) Purpose- The purpose of the HOPE for Homeowners Program is--`(1) to create an FHA program, participation in which is voluntary on the part of homeowners and existing loan holders to insure refinanced loans for distressed borrowers to support long-term, sustainable homeownership;`(2) to allow homeowners to avoid foreclosure by reducing the principle balance outstanding, and interest rate charged, on their mortgages;`(3) to help stabilize and provide confidence in mortgage markets by bringing transparency to the value of assets based on mortgage assets;`(4) to target mortgage assistance under this section to homeowners for their principal residence;`(5) to enhance the administrative capacity of the FHA to carry out its expanded role under the HOPE for Homeowners Program;`(6) to ensure the HOPE for Homeowners Program remains in effect only for as long as is necessary to provide stability to the housing market; and`(7) to provide servicers of delinquent mortgages with additional methods and approaches to avoid foreclosure.

Does anyone know if the contracts changed with this new method?
