Thanks for all the point of views.

And it didn't hurt at all that he and I had pretty much the same basic world-view on business, the economy, politics, and government.

:In one my feet stuck to the floors they were so filthy, and the toilets hadn't been cleaned yet this year, the walls had holes, they all stunk and had varying degrees of unidentified food on all the stoves.What day/time did you view the properties?

I love your positive view on helping renters become homeowners and finding more jobs for contractors!!

I can hike to the North when I want a change of view...

And of course there are average schools which bring in average renters, avg increase and avg appreciation.I've got 28 houses in roughly 12 different towns so I have a real good view of the difference between good, average, and poor schools and how it relates to buy and hold.

Student loans in deferment can be removed from DTI calculations manually.If the student loan creditor agrees to take less than the balance due, this may affect your score but will not affect a view in underwriting aside from your score.

I need to find a knock down property with a view in either Beverly Hills or the Hollywood Hills.

Anyway that's getting ahead first if this is your target city go out and view 40 houses and pick the best house in the best location.

DF killed the selling MHs in parks in my view plus the park managers disallow investers to work most parks around Atlanta.You might want to keep this for yourself to start a cash flow business since the price should be very low.
