If you're looking for places that don't need much work at that range, you might also want to consider Norwood (but far enough away from Bond Hill and North Avondale, south or around St Rt 562).As far as what else you need to know, I think it just comes down to getting more of your team together and asking more questions on BP!

@Tushar P.Wether it is stocks or bonds, dividends, interest, or rent it is all passive.

Lower risk, lower return, but "realizable return" ... then once you cut your teeth on a few of those, if you still want to venture into the hood then find somebody who is doing it successfully to mentor you. 

There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth over Madoff stealing $50 Billion, but our own government has stolen TRILLIONS and they are in the process of taking away our capitalistic system in favor of socialism.

I will gnash my teeth for several months, (learning both a new operating system and a new application), but I will then have a useful, powerful, and relatively bug free set of applications tools that are priced most attractively!

One of the phone reps also recommended that I stop investing in real estate and buy some bonds. 

The cash flow you collect each month can give you a decent rate of return, and in many cases better than most other investments out there (i.e. stocks, bonds, and mutual funds).Also, don't get hung up on the "50% rule" and "2% rule" because that does not work the same in all markets.

As you become more profitable and internal risk becomes greater, you can obtain an E&O policy or performance bond as applicable.

Kyle you could put the rent in an escrow as long as you let the landlord know in writing, and the escrow is a license, bonded, insured, and have E & O and the landlord could also sue the tenant for non-payment of rent per agreement, and it would be up to a judge to decide who wins.Joe Gore
