Welcome to BP.You can view my profile here http://www.biggerpockets.com/users/akhan Good luck searching for deals in your RE farming area.

Buy it cheap, don't over rehab it and then sell it for a lot less than it would fetch in a nicer area.Last year I made over $33K flipping a house that was literally across the street from a sewer plant, had train tracks running through the back yard, was in the flight path of the municipal airport and while in a nice town itself was less than a 1 min drive (Unless you had to wait for a train to go by:) ) drive from arguably the worst city in the state.Sold it for about $100K less than I would have if it was like a mile away.

Josh and Brandon,The forums kick butt, and I am so thankful to be a part of them.Is there functionality to sort sub forums based on views/replies?

@Katharine Chartrand Since I am viewing with my phone the check photo is a bit blurry, but you might just be exposing enough info there for a thief to compromise your account without stealing a physical check from you.

I was perusing the internet and found this lovely compilation of detroit properties aging over 4ish years via Google Street view.

I know USAA and Navy Federal will definitely know what this means and ask about future employment.I could use vacation days to visit and view properties ahead of time if I needed to.

With rentals, as in most aspects of life, you've got to take the long view & see past the euphoria of clearing a higher cash flow right now.

In my view this is your bigger problem.

The income and expenses will be split as per stake in the IRA.Do you see this as a workable deal from legal point of view.

When you view Rick's website make sure you read the testimonials.
