@David McEwanI would secure financing prior to shopping, however just ran into a deal where I was 'Preapproved" for financing, signed a contract & was sidelined due to a garage apartment & forced to seek cash from another source.

Hi Matt Castle I have had 2 evictions in last 3+ years, so don't really have a trend, but I would think that the evictions would be higher around and after the holiday season, because people tend to spend more money than they can really afford for holiday shopping and the they forget the importance of paying rent on time.Just my guess.Sharad

These include Scotsman Guide and the American Association of Private Lenders.

I've been shopping 6 months and this is the highest rental income I've seen for my price range (under 350K).The rents seem very low to me.

Recently I took a tour of midtown and the design district and could not believe how much more evolved both areas are, especially with the high end designers setting up shop (Dior, Hermes, Louboutin, need I say more??).

I've tried purchasing locally from a supplier, but my online shopping experience is superior.

You don't necessarily have to shop in a high end area to make it worth your while, but you also don't want to buy in a terribly low area that is on it's way out - that's really only feasible for flipping fast when you run smaller risk of depreciation.

You can shop that around as well.  

They also have great historical architecture, shopping districts etc.

Shop around.
