As well, keep in mind that the other investor's risk tolerance will be different from yours.  

I've discussed this with a lawyer, I am able to evict based on my zero tolerance for criminal activity addendum, but an eviction with a physically aggressive person doesn't sound like a great idea.

Everybody has a different level of risk tolerance, so you need to find yours and master it.I have several friends who only park their money in 401(K) accounts, max out every, take advantage of company matching and are okay with volitality.

What is your risk tolerance for investing?

If you can withstand the worst case scenarios based on history of the submarket you are in it will give you a better idea of what your assumptions and change to those assumptions can tolerate.

I call these "grandma ghettos" cause grandma still lives there and doesn't tolerate any BS that goes on.

Couple things to think about with regards to spreading people out from city centers:Even if the 2 hour commute is tolerable/desirable etc, there is still fuel/electricity that has to be spent during that ride.

Ultimately, you and your husband need to decide your "risk-tolerance" and then act accordingly.Best of luck!

I know many people who pull the 30% from a line of credit because they do not have the down payments  and then finance the deal via a mortgage through a corporation to hide the fact that they used a LC but again you are now 100% leveraged...You are young and your risk tolerance may be higher then some but I have bought and sold many dealswhen you are playing the "no money down game" it usually never ends well....

It is very dependent on your investment goals, style, tolerance, risk factors, convenience and so much more.
