I look for homes in good areas, mostly blue collar, lower to middle class.

I would not pick a really disadvantaged area of town to start, but a blue-collar, working class neighborhood is not much more money to start and can be very profitable.

There are a couple "blue chip" companies located in my city that I am going to be applying to as well.

And you're right, this is not a blue chip investment... however, it doesn't need to be for this one specific scenario.

I'm working thought J Scott's books (available under the "Learn" tab of the blue navigation bar) and would recommend them to you as well.Finally, just an FYI, to use the @mention functionality, you have to start typing the person's name (or just @?)

More than likely, you don't have a complete HVAC, old wiring, you have old windows, a bathroom which is lime green, baby powder blue, or pink, linoleum floors, and a cobbled together kitchen, and a weird garage conversion.

For the record, I liked the blue brick, but I was quickly voted out.

., and what class you would consider that in your area.I currently own B-/C+ properties, which are largely blue collar rural neighborhoods, the buildings are about 40 years old, are duplexes, suitable size, but certainly not where I would live given the choice.

You need to see what the underwriting indicates as to risks, you don't just pull an interest rate out of the clear blue, higher rates may be justified, if you can't assess the matter stay at or below 10% and you should be fine and qualify the borrower as to the ability to pay.

IF it doesn't have their name highlighted in a blue background (like yours is above) it didn't work properly and you should try again.
