This is similar to, but not the same as, the yield of beans in China, since China is the most populated nation on earth and the yield is much higher, (which is due to the poor air quality in China and why bean consumption is regulated) with the yield or output being much more concentrated over time.And, why hard money lenders usually don't chase tax liens in Texas, nor do they develop lists for investors to purchase with their funds as they rely more on the security interests in a property rather than a UCC filing.   

As Ali mentioned, the Philly market for MFH is pretty competitive, however if you are willing to put some work in, or invest some capital to make some repairs, opportunities exist.One thing to note, if you buy in the next few months finding renters might be difficult if you do in fact make improvements to the property (as it is vacant).

Since houses don't trade on cap rates but rather sales comps and fewer institutional buyers purchase houses one or two at a time the price to rent ratio has actually improved in comparison to multifamily in Houston.

I think that having a partner you trust in a particular area can dramatically improve your performance, especially if you are not living there or don't even have the chance to see the area.I also think that it is very important before you find a partner to experience real estate on your own, so that you have a good knowledge of what investing means.

But with more parking and a larger devolopment of downtown Bremerton will be the only real way i see any improvement in equity building.

I am not opposed to making some needed improvements, but don't want to take on a major rehab now. 

But after we had tenants whose various dogs ate my porch swing, the plug off a window air conditioner (haven't a clue why the dog didn't fry himself on that one), dug holes in carpets down to the subfloor, ate the bottom off a closet door, chewed open a door and got under the house in the summer heat to stay cool and crushed a duct pipe and (in one case) were kept under the house so I got to clean feces and urine out from under there on my hands and knees....we rethought our  idea of the need for a pet fee.Gail

So that 100k would include the 55k for the improvements?

he told me that Washington is a private land(hard to buy) or something like that but it seems that my affordable price range of a house is 40k :( sounds to bad to begging with. so ill need my wife's credit score even that she do not work to improve that issue and also He needs her SSN(true?)
