Dawn--I've read and heard a lot as I've been doing my own research that there are few rental vacancies and rentals are needed in Medford, sounds like especially lower rents.While rentals seem to be needed, I've read a few articles in the last several months that have highlighted the large number of abandoned or unoccupied out-of-state owned homes in the area, and family members and friends have colloquially reported the same.

And the ltv is going to be lower etc, but the rate will still be way better than what you are getting on the commercial I'm guessing.

For caller #1, I'm sure I could only buy one or two of the properties and work something out on a smaller level.

Entry level houses are still selling very quick.

Every investor has a different tolerance level for prosecutions. 

hi my name is brandon cook, i have invested in a few properties in detroit and am looking to take my real estate income/portfolio to the next level. i need advice

Hello,I am looking at a fourplex in fort worth Texas. 2 of the tenants are on section 8 and are paying rents much lower than the surrounding area. 

Pretty decent overall metrics on my offer of about $139k which would rent for about $1,400However, after inspection, it probably needs $3,000 of capex and with a foundation inspection it needs at least a soul leveling for $4,000 or a full foundation overall auk for $10,500I countered during the option period with $125,000 to cover my capex coats. 

There are times to use monthly MI as well if you think you've found a great deal where you can force equity or improve the value of the property so much so that your current loan with monthly MI will be at 80% or lower LTV/loan to value after your improvements then monthly MI is better because you may end up refinancing or removing MI 6-24 months after closing.

BUT NOW due to mining recession house prices are plummeting and so are jobs - it's not looking better in the close future.My girlfriend and I have joined the "Rich Dad" based mentorship program for the UK and connected with a local investors group who already invest into UK (with the same program).The plan is to start with lower budget "buy to let" and find the odd good deal to flip a property for cashflow to reinvest.
