We can afford to purchase a place in a safer (location, location, location) part of town with both of our incomes.

Hello everyone,I'm new at real estate investing but a real estate agent gave me a idea and I been pondering it and actually missing some deals I believe. I live in a big college community. I have opportunity to purcha...

Hello,I live in Los Angeles, CA and am strongly considering purchasing a rental property in Michigan, my home state, in a town ~3 hours away from my home town.A couple questions: 1) Does anyone own rental property in Grand Rapids Mi?

I realize that it will very with every company and in every town but any help will be greatly appreciated.

When I find the above I start looking at specific zip codes.As you research your area you want to look at things like is the city/town being aggressive in attracting employment.

I like Wilmington as well, nice town... a long way from Alaska!

Kept searching all over upper coastal areas of FL, only reason honing down to CC because of the amount of development happening and by the number new properties coming in the market compared to other places whereas most properties in other towns mostly old.

Moving into apartment complexes.Norcross, Ga - 2 bed/1.5 bath - 950 market rent, tenant paying 850/month (handy man discount) Asking 84KSuwanee, Ga 4 bed/2.5bath - 1898/month (tenant paid one year in advance)  $280KSandy Springs, Ga 3 bed/2.5 bath town home - 3 rooms occupied at 750/each

IE homes went from 500k on average to 1 mil. ( talking SF peninsula and prime LA) there were many human interest pieces in the sunday papers ( remember those you used to have them delivered to your door and then read them )... about people doing just that cashing in and moving to some little town In Iowa or Ohio or some other very inexpensive place to live and raising their kiddo's etc etc.I would think our average dual income family ( that's average earners) probably make 100 to 120k a hear combined... my 36 YO has a salary over 200k at intel plus her hubby... and they live nice but not over the top.. if she could telecommute to some other mid west area that would probably be a nice living and lifestyle.. but its still work .. but their is work in all we do whether its rentals or going to work. 

We found this property literally on the first hit and only hit of one of our bandit signs we had placed around town.
