Turnkey properties that are almost ready to rent are more of what I was thinking.I believe that location is everything, but I understand that in the current market environment there is often a high premium on location.

The city that I live in is a low income environment, so the houses are going cheap, but it is a college town so the rent is high.  

They are also trying to provide a quality living environment (hopefully) and fliers will come across as cheap and garbage. 

In an environment such as this where there are several housemates as signatory to the lease, we also have the remaining housemates sign a letter indicating they consent to the sublet.  

City of Allentown has a fair amount of crime but not any more than any other low income environment.

But locking in incredibly low rates on a 30-year mortgage is a great way to gain the benefits of the current interest rate environment in today's market)

It is a great learning environment here.

Include remedies for challenging scenarios (i.e. if you can't get refinancing at the end of the term, what if the lender wants to request his money back earlier) Be sure to discuss and record these possibilities so that the options are clear and well defined.Building a solid relationship with a private lender is invaluable and if you create an environment where expectations are clear, and both of you benefit, your lender will want to work with you for years to come.
