It's a cute house but you have to drive thru a rough-looking (but safe) neighborhood to get to it.

I recently got pre- approved for a mortgage and will be moving in with my girlfriend who has a cheap rent stabilized apartment, which will allow me to safe a lot of money.I want to invest in a condo as a rental property in nyc, i realize i probably will not get as much cashflow or find a 20% discount price that is recommenced in the bigger pocket book because the nyc market is tuff to make some of the advise in the bigger pocket book work.But i realized i can kind of force the cashflow numbers to work if i put a larger then 20% down payment on the mortgage,which i am capable of doing If i go with this option i will only be able to afford a studio condo 300-350k price range that will dated and need some reno work that i would be capable of doing myself.

Hi All, just wondering if anyone has some detailed information about this Zip code in Memphis, I am looking for on the ground experience on this area, other than what I can find on the internet.I have read the stats, I get that this area seems reasonable hard hit lower income area, but is it stable, safe, C+ properties area or an area which is transforming as Business move in and people start to stabilise?

@Jeff Richardson and others, hope yall are safe and sound.

 I went to BELIZE and I do not think is a safe place to invest .

First, we'll start with building a safe, sustainable community for people with special needs!

Regardless of the "cause' you are certainly in more potential danger being there than not being there.Get out - get safe - search and sort later.
