If you see this as a permanent relocation it may be in your best interest to get a short term rental when you first arrive, even if just for a few months, while you look for employment and get to know the area. 

When the sewer guy arrived, there were people still living there (with no gas) who said they'd be there for two more weeks.

There isn't  a universal discount rate but you start with the cash flow to then arrive at a value.

Dont worry about the birthrate.If current trends continue, the population of the United States will rise to 438 million in 2050, from 296 million in 2005, and 82% of the increase will be due to immigrants arriving from 2005 to 2050 and their U.S.

@Thaddeus Goodgame how did you arrive at your rehab estimate and ARV?

Perhaps include some documentation with your offer laying how you arrived at the number you are offering.

I am hoping that prices don't go up once spring arrives....$100 per door doesn't seem too stringent- what numbers are you using for vacancy, repairs, and capex?

Fast forward to two years ago...We moved into a SFH due to the arrival of my second child.

Sometimes I even forget I am a landlord until the rent check arrives :D .My tenants plan to rent from me for 2 more years, but I am at a point where I either need to sell or remortgage.

I arrived with $200 in my bank account and all my belongings in an old Toyota.
