What stats do u look at to see the health of a market and where do u go for your 1 stop shop of these stats?

Unfortunately, bad things do happen with regularity in the rental property business.

This is an interesting topic.The Urban Land Institute published Technical Bulletin 50 in 1964 following a years-long collaboration with the FHA and the Public Health Service (not sure why them).  

I still haven't closed on my first deal, but I am now making offers and getting out there every weekend, researching during the week after my regular job.And that is my 2 cents worth on Rich Dad Mentoring.

The hearing by the county health dept. is in a few days.It is over two years behind on taxes and will be auctioned this summer unless it's brought current.The house is a wreck.

Well my friend did the deal with a regular bank.

I am not sure if anyone is familiar with tax laws here but will I just pay tax on that $50k as if it was regular income?

However, if you go to that hoatalk site and search rentals, you will find that many people feel that though rentals appear to be not so good, when it comes time that YOU, for instance, find yourself with the need, for whatever reason, health, job opportunity elsewhere, finances, whatever, to rent, you CAN"T because the hoa/coa/poa does not allow it.

You just have to monitor them on a regular basis.

Right now I have two percs registerd by the Health Department.
