I live in a very rural area north of Asheville, NC which does not have much going on as far as real estate movement so I’m looking at other areas.Asheville is hot right now and has set record sales/prices for 2015.This has put the little inventory that is available out of my price range.Asheville would be my long term goal.According to Zillow (which I’m not sure how accurate it is) market health index for Asheville is 9.4/10.Other areas I’m considering are Greenville, SC (market health index 7.8/10 ) and Johnson City, TN (index of 5.9/10), both with more inventory in my price range.Asheville is 35 minutes from my house, Greenville 2 hours, and Johnson City 1 hour.I have made contact with a realtor in the Greenville area and that area really looks like it has potential.I am a Nurse and my wife is a Physical Therapist so we have W2 income and would not need to live off flipping.I also have 3 days off a week to manage rehabs, plus downtime at work for research/studying markets.

I would not be able to afford the down payment if it wasn’t for my real estate properties.

When I bought my first property, I was still working full time so I just used it as supplemental income until I could afford to buy another.

My lease does state that the tenant is responsible for the health of trees and shrubs.  

I want to flip houses for profit, but I live in New York and I can't afford it to do it in New York..

States have increasingly been deeming this predatory to those who can least afford it. http://wane.com/2016/02/02/indiana-ag-sues-3-compa...

It is publicly listed, at an affordable price, for over 60 days.  

Try to pay any charge offs you may owe if you can afford to.

Her husband left her and she just can't afford the house on her own.

I lived in the 5th ward for two years after college as it was affordable...my truck was vandalized every six months, and I was in the nice south of I-10 area.I own several rentals in the Houston and larger metro area now - none are in the 5th ward.
