Goal is to buy and hold long term in good neighborhoods that attract good quality tenants .Can someone recommend cities across US where it is possible to cashflow or breakeven  on condo investments in grade A neighborhoods? 

@Dan Wallace, A quick look makes it appear that this could be the case for a building I have been looking at.  

I am definitely wary of the fact that the seller doesn't have any docs to show and my agent doesn't want me to pursue the property because she thinks the numbers they ARE sharing are inflated, but it's in an area that I want to settle in for the long haul and that I'm quickly getting priced out of.

In the letter be sure to mention that you are a Cash Buyer and can close quickly.

The cost can get away from you very quickly.

Hi All,My name is Kate and I'm diving in and doing a quick introduction.

The others adapted right quick and the people I have placed are a dream.I only have one issue right now-I am pretty capable of navigating the protective laws of 3 or more units here in NJ- but one thing drives me bonkers: I cannot give a tenant notice of non-renewal for renovations.

If they have to leave/relocate you will recover quickly.  

How quickly you discount a lead as unmotivated can be a huge factor in your success.

Does this sound attractive/doable to anyone?
