I have to respectfully disagree with you Sir.

@Marc Amedee  Okay, here's what I recommend based on what I've learned:Some investors would disagree, but I would make contact with a few cash buyers first before putting any homes under contract.

I guess we're going to agree to disagree.

Yes you get your rent every month, but a large percentage of the tenants are hard on the home and because they have nothing but time on their hands, they have a lot of drama that is not fun to deal with.You could keep 90% occupancy/paying tenants, but that will depend on the upkeep on the property.We disagree with Paul about out-of-state investors not being able to be profitable in Detroit.

I originally compared other lenders to them, but they always were at least .10 percent lower, and are a local bank that I feel good supporting.Do you disagree?

And some may disagree with this but slightly, and I mean slightly over improve your property.

Some might disagree with me but I see Boise as more of an appreciation play from a home value and rental increase stand point.

@David D'Ambrosio, I respectfully disagree- mostly- with the responses thus far.

Some may look @ the ARV the first lender lent on and disagree.

I don't disagree that Atlanta has been a pretty tight market lately.
