It looks like a house in this zipcode starts at about 30-40k and rents for between 600-950/moI'd be careful investing long distance unless you have a good and trustworthy property managerIf you look on zillow, the z-estimate is sometimes telling of what nearby houses have sold for or have rented for recentlyYou can also walk around the property on google streetview and see if you like the neighborhoodSection 8 can be good but I wouldn't look to it exclusivelyCraigslist is also a good resource for advertising rentals and bidding out repair work for when the property manager's repair-person is asking too much or is not advertising effectively

I posted this topic to gain a better understanding and hopefully help someone else who comes across an advertised bundled product like this one.  

If you're the one advertising the John Stark Coffee House on Craigslist, I can tell you that your asking price is way, way, WAY off.

DONT BE TAKEN AND DONT ADVERTISE WHAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL BE WILLING TO LIFT THAT 150K OFF OF YOUR HANDS.

I use regular signs on the main road as well as craigslist to advertise to prospective tenants.

In the milwaukee area, a lot of properties advertise heat included.

Real Estate brokerage doesn't make beans, but it pays for my assistant, advertising, and I usually keep 100% of my commissions unless the accounts are running low...Purchased my first sfr rental last year...

Josh,I honestly still do not know what source they used to get to my website but here's how it went down:I was advertising the property for a few months and received a few emails here and there but nothing that really lead anywhere.

The 50% Rule includes ALL the real world expenses including, but not limited to: taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, utilities (even if only during vacancies), advertising, entity maintenance, legal expenses, capital expenses (not technically an operating expense), vacancies (not technically an operating expense), evictions, damage done by tenants in excess of the security deposit, lawsuits, etc, etc, etc.As for discussing each item and what to watch out for, that could occupy an entire website.

My concern is that this may just be advertising a vacant property and act as motivation for would be criminals.
