Some bids were crazy high while and I decided to go with one that was very low. 

The house is new so I don't expect any major maintenance. 

I am still a long distance full time college student so I hired maintenance and cleaner but I did all the rehab myself over the summer so I saved a fortune.

There is government data online to see where good schools are, low crime rates, and desirable city amenities.  

Hi, im a begginer, and would like to know why Trenton and Camden Nj real estate price is so low, compared to northern Nj, and maybe info about vacancy rates, and ROI ,Thanks.

Though I do get interest from tenants with low credit scores and evictions. 

Make sure to factor in all expenses such as property taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, repairs and potential rents. 2.

And comparing Worcester to other cities of similar size, (Hartford, Springfield, Providence) and even smaller cities (Lawrence, Fall River, New Bedford, Brockton) you will see that overall crime rates are low. 

While your immediate position doesn't change, you now own a property with 200k of currently inaccessible equity.Also with your first one, if you can put down 5% or equally low, occupy it, and do a live-in flip, you may not have to refi; save up for another 5%, do it again, new primary loan, etc. 

Owner didnt need a lot of cash out (he had recently sold a CA home) and is now getting same monthly income he had previously without the headache of maintenance and management.Building was poorly managed and rents waaaay below market, which is where we saw value.
