I am formerly of the Seattle area, including a stint on Whidbey Island, and I am quite familiar with Bellingham, which is beautiful.  

Lakewood is a beautiful up-and-coming neighborhood.

Greetings all,I just needed some advise on what some of you might have experienced or/and witnessed.

I have worked extensively in non-profit construction and rebuilding and am interested in purchasing and investing in a house.I have a prospect that definitely needs a lot of love and care, but could be an incredibly beautiful home when finished.Any tips on how to start investing as a student and with very little income?? 

They are doing some rehabs currently and it's a beautiful property with a wonderful food garden in the front and back. 

I tested a few "neighborhoods" in the application, and the unfortunately data can be highly misleading (Note:  How this website defines "neighborhoods" may be different than common definitions (one simple example would be how they define the borders of Fountain Square - I don't think that most real estate professionals would say that Fountain Square goes that far east).Also, if you take as an example a neighborhood like Butler-Tarkington, on the south end (38th-42nd), it can be quite rough and $50k houses can be found readily, but in the northern end of the exact same neighborhood, you can find beautiful virtual mansions with manicured lawns which can easily be $500k - $1MM.So, just to summarize, while there are some "tools" which can be helpful, this just further illustrates once again, how difficult & challenging, Indianapolis can be & how one must do their own due diligence.Best,Matthew

I am a Real Estate Agent  in beautiful SWFL.  

I'm here to start doing some research so we know what we need to invest into the property before renting, as well as get an idea of what else we need to focus on if we decide to move forward with this.Our house was built in 1901, and is a beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-story house with a half (unfinished) basement.

I have two beautiful properties already.

The beauty of real estate investing is that there are multiple strategies and options available to you.
