We also invest in pure rentals, (south Carolina).Many of our friends have rented out their spare bedrooms allowing them to "pay" for their mortgage and often times utility living rent free. 

There is no way to predict everything in this business, but if you do get a note that goes south, PPR will do their best to make good.  

If things go south, your loan servicer can probably modify it, foreclosure go to your attorney "Trustee" then see your Realtor.

Hi, I recently bought a condo in south florida and I was planning on doing some renovation by myself but the thing is that I am Canadian and I heard things saying that as a Canadian I am not allowed to do any kind of work in one of my US properties.

@Tim Bishop Crime in HEB has climbed over the last 10-years or so, mostly south of Pipeline Rd. 

I'm a flipper in the Chicagoland area - primarily the south suburbs and Chicago around Midway airport.

But should see more first time buyers enter the market.To be honest where I am living in the south not far from london house prices didn't fall by that much, there is still strong demand for the area.

Ajay, Ever one I know want you to have skin in the deal because you have nothing to lose if something went south.

I found some duplexes recently in South Florida with great cash flow....That's my plug for the day.
