Stable?

Of course one can beat the 50% number......with higher rents AND better areas AND stronger, more stable tenant pools.

Have only bought 2 off the MLS in the last 18 months; but they fly off the shelf when you list the finished good there!

They are both stable gigs and I make between 50-60 K a year.

Yes I am currently in school now , but I hear people speak a lot about needing two year employment history in order to qualify for a home loan .I'm just hoping once I find stable employment I can get a loan to buy my first investment property preferable a duplex and my work history does hinder my chances.

Is it stable, growing, or declining.

Not to say I assume I would lose it, but because it is speculation, I want something more fundamentally stable before shooting for the crystal ball.

One on side, the family is on their 4th year and is quite stable.

I don't have any experience, but the east side does seem like a very good, stable area.  

Less competition for tenants (if it's a desirable street), theoretically better maintained/pride in ownership ) and a stable population of folks to get to know as an owner/landlord.
