Everyone's comments are so mixed - it really seems like you need to have a really good handle on the city to know where to buy.

Looking for a recommendations for a good Property Management company for single family homes in the Peoria IL area.I have a mix of some nicer neighborhoods and some not so great.

I do delight in strategizing and hearing from Boston investors and reading their comments.  

I also am planning to work with rentals and hope to mix in a few flips as well.  

As a real estate agent I hear mixed opinions from clients. 

Between Washington and Harrison is mixed with mainly SF homes and multi families that varies on the condition of each neighborhood.

Are there certain cities in their mix that can be recommended more highly than others like South Holland? 

Long time watcher, First time caller.I want to thank you all for the advice I've gotten from reading BP forums and hope to offer my own to the mix sometime.I'm looking for a referral for a home inspector in Tampa and or Pasco County.

I used to have my rental income mixed in with my personal checking accounts but earlier this year I separated out my rental property income/expenses to make sure they can be self sufficient.

You are mixing little bits and pieces of a very big puzzle together that do not go together. ..* Banks already wrote down their losses prior to sale.
