I don't think I would go sell 10k + in precious metals to a dealer, just me.Sam - I really like your thinking.

About $80-90k because in my area a $45k SFR is either a mobile home (minus the land) or in the midst of a drug turf war.

At the heart of the issue is are you a dealer or are you an investor purchasing to rent that sells a rental.

My biggest concerns are as follows:No evictions in last 5 yearsRental historyWork history / incomeNot breaking a lease to move into my propertyAcceptable reason for movingNo violent crimesNo drug dealing convictionsCredit report verifies info on application (honesty)I don't care about the credit score.

Being authentic and honest and being a shady wheeler dealer is the best way.

That's usually a higher rate than the 15% long term rate, but it depends on your personal situation.That assumes you're not selling a personal residence and that you're not a dealer.

I think I need to spend some time visiting parks/re-sellers/dealers and getting a better idea of the numbers.

Neighborhood has little pride of ownership, drug activity, etc. there are jobs as its next to a large prison, schools and hospitals.Rents really cannot be increased as there are new developments renting new 3bd homes for as little as $600.Tenants are typically short term and if screening is tough the units remain empty.

I expect to sell the house in 2012.The house is most likely a dealer property.

My fiancé was the one who wanted to go to the free 2-hour pitch, and drug me along with her, although I resisted a bit.
