If not, they get their land.Times of India is an english language newspaper.

I've lived in some rough neighborhoods myself over the years, so I can deal with a bit of roughness as long as it's not extreme.

Oh, and the area the home is in is fairly decent..its in the inner-city..i havent actually went by the property, and i dont wanna label it as a war zone..cause here in st.louis..some parts of the city will be i quiet neighborhood, and 10 blocks over would be a war zone..help!!

Problem areas - if neighborhood is so run down it looks like a war zone, drug dealers are openly selling on the streets and prostitution is rampant - perhaps you should look for a better area.

., and a cap rate of 10%, I come out with a fully loaded ARV of $396K which seems absurd considering the neighborhood and the other apartments in the area.

Your goal should be getting the value towards the top value of the neighborhood.

3) What are some good programs (besides MLS) for locating properties, analysis, creating reports, and tracking neighborhoods?

and do I only search in the same neighborhood and how far of a radius should I search?

Have you done any type of advertising on your own on the internet or in the weekly newspapers that are free for pick-up in front of most stores?

Plus, a major point being it is not an efficient system for keeping others out, making it very easy for other neighborhood's kids, owners' friends, etc., to use our pool all summer without signing appropriate waivers and paying the guest fees involved to help alleviate the cost of maintenance and lifeguard fees just by handing a photo of yourself to the lifeguard early in the season.
